Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Old market price of stock = $15

New market price of stock = $18

Here, we assume that EPS be $5.

So,

Price-earning ratio at old price = \frac{Market\ Price}{EPS}

                                                   =  \frac{15}{5}

                                                   = 3

Price-earning ratio at New price = \frac{Market\ Price}{EPS}

                                                   =  \frac{18}{5}

                                                   = 3.6

Hence, price-earnings ratio increases.

enot [183]

I shall replace the salesman after discovering that a salesman is receiving kickbacks from my largest customer, analog concerns.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the above mentioned scenario, the salesman is given a kickbacks - "advantages" for either the good relationship that they have maintained with the client or for luring them to always provide them the product/service with discounts.

So in this situation I would obviously replace the salesman because such situations cannot be ignored and there is no assurance that the salesman will not take kickbacks henceforth. And asking for a cut is ethically wrong as the salesman getting the kickbacks.
