,Correct answer explanation:
Reynard Tobacco's acquisition of Snappy Snacks is primarily motivated by growth. This is because Reynard Tobacco is
in a declining industry and is looking to expand into new markets and product categories to increase overall company
growth, similar to how Philip Morris acquired Kraft. 1
Why not the others?
Economies of scope — This is incorrect because economies of scope focuses on cost savings through shared
resources, which is not the primary driver in this acquisition. 1
Risk reduction — This is incorrect because risk reduction involves diversifying into businesses with uncorrelated cash
flows to reduce financial risk, not necessarily to grow into new markets. 1
Strategic control — This is incorrect because strategic control refers to gaining control over resources or value chain
activities, which isn't the main reason for Reynard's acquisition. 1
