Repeat the Title – Level 1 Header
Hit the tab key one time to begin the main body of the paper.
The paragraphs of the main document are indented. The
computer will wrap your text for you based upon the margin
settings established by this document template. It is not
necessary for you to hit the Enter or return key at the end of a
line of text. Only hit the enter key (one time) when you reach
the end of a paragraph.
Then hit the tab key to indent and then continue typing the
paper. In APA any source that you use in your paper must have
an in-text citation. In APA these citations include the author’s
last name and the year of the publication in parentheses (Name,
Year).
Level 2 Header use: Flush Left, Bold, Title Case Heading
Sub-section your essay using sub-headers in the same
sequence you introduced your topic in your lead paragraph, your
thesis.
Level 3 Header use: Flush Left, Bold Italic, Title Case Heading
The more lengthy or complex your essay, the potential for using
additional Level Headers; notice the subtle difference. One tip
for any submission, always double-check the font choice is

24. consistent throughout the essay.
Conclusion
Begin to summarize the main points of your topic in three to
five sentences. The conclusion of your paper should re-phrase
the points of what your reader should be left remembering,
nothing new, concise and to the point.

Instructions
Respond to the following question:
As part of the financial planning process, a common practice in
the corporate finance world is restructuring through the process
of mergers and acquisitions (M&A). It seems that on a regular
basis, investment bankers arrange M&A transactions, forming
one company from separate companies. What are the advantages
and the disadvantages of a merger? In your response, provide an
example of either - a merger that was successful, or one that
was unsuccessful.
6 page content / words 1300 (title page, abstract and reference
page not included).
Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines,
including a title page, an introduction, and a conclusion. An
abstract is not required. Cite in text and include a References
section. A template is included in the assignment.
In your report, make certain that you include at least three
credible outside references from search engines
Note that your attached paper will automatically be submitted to

25. Turnitin, and an Originality Report should be sent back to the
classroom within around 15 minutes. The Originality report
does not actually recommend changes. It does point out where
you may need to add a citation or quotation marks (if not
already cited). Once you use it a few times, you will appreciate
this tool, as it will assist you in improving quality and content,
as well as avoid plagiarism. Your goal is to keep direct
quotations to a minimum and to make sure that you do not just
cut and paste material. Ensure that all your references are cited.
A report with a similarity index less than 20% is acceptable for
graduate level work.
Your paper will be evaluated according to the Writing
Assignment Grading Rubric shown below. To maximize your
grade, be sure to use the proper organization (intro, body,
conclusion) and follow APA style. Your paper should have a
title page and reference page, but you do not need an abstract
for this assignment. See the PowerPoint presentation attached
for APA assistance.
