Questions 27– 28 refer to the following text.

Steve Jobs completed  high school and enrolled in college, but that was short-lived, as he left a few months later. He worked a short span at video game giant Atari, but then decided  to travel to India. Returning home, in 1976, Jobs and Wozniak created Apple Computer, and subsequently, worked out of the Jobs’ family garage. The two entrepreneurs wasted no time, and quickly created a personal computer that sold for about six-hundred-and- seventy dollars. The Apple I brought in three-quarters of a million dollars in sales. Incredibly, when The Apple II was released, sales increased exponentially, beyond anyone’s comprehension, to one-hundred-and-thirty-nine million dollars.

Just four short years after forming the company, Apple computer, Inc, went public in 1980 and was worth a staggering $1.2b ( one-point-two billion dollars). And , this was on the first day of trading! In 1984 he released the Macintosh. At this point in time, Jobs was looking for something a little different and purchased Pixar Animation Studios. The endeavor was a huge success, chuming out well-known animation movies such as Finding Nemo and Toy Story. The company eventually merged with Walt Disney in 2006, resulting in Jobs becoming the highest stakeholders in the Disney Company.
