Answer:
The correct option is 4.
Explanation:
It is given that Lawson has 3,000 shares of stock outstanding at a price of $28 a share.
The value of Lawson's shares is
[tex]3000\times 28=\$84000[/tex]
Aardvark has 1,100 shares outstanding with a market value of $23 a share.
The value of Aardvark's shares is
[tex]1100\times 23=\$25300[/tex]
The incremental value of the acquisition is $1,400.
The total value of Lawson Products after the merger is
[tex]\$84000+\$25300+\$1400=\$110700[/tex]
The total value of Lawson Products after the merger is $110700. Therefore the correct option is 4.
