Answer:
III) Increase its gross margin
Explanation:
If the company increases its gross margin, it will have a direct impact on the company's net profit. The higher a company's net profit, the higher its value = higher stock price.
The only option that increases the value of the company is to increase its net profit, since:
- an increase in inventory will result in a lower stock price
- a decrease in the asset turnover ratio will result in a lower stock price
- the issuing of stock dividends will only increase the price of stock in the short run, later the price will adjust down since the company's book value will lower
Price discrimination is the action of selling the same product at different prices to different buyers, in order to maximize sales and profits. Movie theaters practice it by giving discounts on certain night. Example: senior citizens discount. Restaurants practice price discrimination by menu pricing.
Answer:
$1.3 per share
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Number of shares outstanding of TJ = 2,500
Market price = $16.70
Number of shares outstanding of Corner Grocery = 3,000
Price per share of Corner Grocery = $22.50
Cost of acquiring TJ's share = $45,000
Now,
Merger Premium per share = [ Cost of acquiring TJ's share - Market price of TJ's shares ] ÷ Number shares TJ's outstanding
= [ $45,000 - ( $16.70 × 2,500)] ÷ 2,500
= [ $45,000 - $41,750 ] ÷ 2,500
= $3,250 ÷ 2,500
= $1.3 per share
Given:
net sales = 53,404,000,000
Average total assets = 16,302,000,000
Total asset turnover is calculated by divided net sales by the average total assets.
Total asset turnover = net sales / average total assets
T.A.O = 53,404,000,000 / 16,302,000,000
T.A.O = 3.2759 OR 3.3
The total asset turnover indicates the company's ability to efficiently deploy its asset in generating revenue.
