Answer:

5,792 shares

Explanation:

Value of share of K = $28

Increase in value of share due to synergy = $600 / 5,500 shares

Increase in value of share due to synergy = $0.11

New share value = $28 + $0.11

New share value = $28.11

Number of shares to be issued = $8,200 / $28.11

Number of shares to be issued = 291.71

New shares of Firm K = 5,500 shares + 291.71 shares

New shares of Firm K =  5791.71 shares

New shares of Firm K =  5,792 shares
