Answer: $1381400

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Company A is considering a merger with Company B and that A has 43,000 shares outstanding at a market price of $32 a share while B has 12,800 shares outstanding priced at $44 a share and the merger is expected to create $5,400 of synergy.

The total value of the merged firm will be:

= (43,000 × $32) + (12,800 × $44) + $5,400 - $563,200

= $1,376,000 + $563,200 + $5,400 - $563,200

= $1,944,600 - $563,200

= $1,381,400
