Explanation:

Synergy is a term and concept used in merger and acquisition, that the combined value and performance of two companies (to be involved in the merger) will be greater than the sum of the separate individual companies.

Shareholders will benefit if a company's post-merger share price increases due to the synergistic effect of the deal. Usually, merger and acquisition transactions result in a larger company, which has a higher bargaining power to get a lower cost of capital. Achieving a lower cost of capital as a result of a merger or acquisition is an example of Financial Synergy.

Synergies can be negative if a merger or acquisition is poorly executed. In some cases, forecasted cost savings actually turn into higher costs if the two businesses fail to integrate properly.

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
