Answer:

The correct answer is $11,053.80

Explanation:

Laura needs minimum (half + 1 ) of the total shares to win.

(15,000 ÷ 2) + 1

=7500 + 1

=7,501 shares (Laura needs)

Actually She has 6,700 shares.

Is necessary to buy 7,500-6,700= 801 shares

Now the cost per share

$92,460 ÷ 6,700 shares = $13.8 per share

Finally

$13.8 x 801 shares= $11,053.80

Laura needs to invest  $11,053.80 in this firm to guarantee her election to the board
