The price per share of the Rearden immediately after the announcement will be calculated as the addition of the current prices for the companies divided by the total number of shares after merger. This will be:

= (20 × 10) + (15 × 4) / (10 + 3.6)

= (200 + 60) / 13.6

= 260 / 13.6

= 19.12

Grease payments, Option A, are payments to ensure receiving the standard treatment that a business ought to receive from a foreign government, but might not due to the obstruction of a foreign official

Greeley [361]

Answer:

The high school student should analyze the point at which the marginal cost equals the marginal benefit.

In other words, he or she should see if the increased costs of attending Petesburg University are more or less equal to the increased benefit that is gained from graduating from a more prestigious university.

You currently have $5,400. First United Bank will pay you an annual interest rate of 8.9, while Second National Bank will pay yo
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Second National  Bank

Present value (PV) = $5,400

Future value (FV) = $13,900

Interest rate (r) = 10% = 0.10

FV = PV(1 + r)n

$13,900 = $5,400(1 + 0.10)n    

<u>$13,900</u> = (1.10)n

$5,400            

2.574074074 = (1.10)n

Log 2.574074074 = n  log 1.10

<u>Log 2.574074074</u> = n  

Log 1.10                  

n =  9.9 years      

None of the answers is correct                                                                                                                                                          

Explanation:

In this case, we will apply the formula of future value of a lump sum. The present value, interest rate and future value were provided with  the exception of number of years. Thus, the number of years becomes the subject of the formula. The future value equals present value, multiplied                     by 1 plus interest rate, raised to power number of years.
