Findings from several studies on corporate mergers and acquisitions during the 1970s and 1980s raise questions about why firms initiate and consummate such transactions .
One study showed, for example, that acquiring firms were on average unable to maintain acquired  firm’s  Pre-merger levels of profitability.
A second study concluded that post-acquisition gains to most acquiring firms were not adequate to cover the premiums paid to obtain acquired firms.
A third demonstrated that , following the announcement of a prospective merger, the  stock of the prospective acquiring firm tends to increase in value much less than  does that  of the firm for which it bids. Yet mergers  and acquisitions remain common , and bidders continue to assert  that  their objective are economic ones.

These factors may include the incentive compensation of executives, lack of monitoring by boards of directors, and managerial error in estimating the value of firms targeted for acquisition. Alternatively, the acquisition acts of bidders may derive from modeling: a manager does what other managers do.

Snowmaking machine work by spraying a mist that freezes immediately on contact with cold air. Because the sudden freezing kills bacteria. Quick freeze is planning to market a wastewater purification system that works on the same principle. The process works only when temperatures are cold, however, so municipalities using it will still need to maintain a conventional system.
　Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest grounds for a prediction that municipalities will buy QuickFreeze’s purification system despite the need to maintain a conventional purification system as well?
A.    Bacteria are not the only impurities that must be removed from wastewater
B.    Many municipalities have old wastewater purification systems that need to be replaced
C.    Conventional wastewater purification systems have not been fully successful in killing bacteria at cold temperatures.
D.    During times of warm weather, when it is not in use, QuickFreeze’s purification system requires relatively little maintenance.
E.    Places where the winters are cold rarely have a problem of water shortage
