Answer:
1. Which Statement is true:
B. low p/e ratio could mean that the company has a great deal of uncertainty in its future earnings.
2. Qualitative analysis:
According to your understanding, a company with less competition is considered to be (more or less) risky than companies with a wide multiple competitors.
Explanation:
Company A's Price/Earnings (P/E) ratio is calculated as the market price of its shares divided by the earnings per share. It shows the value investors have over a stock. With a high P/E ratio, the company's stock could be over-valued, or investors are expecting high growth rates in the future. This is unlike a low P/E ratio that shows that the stock is undervalued or that investors are not expecting high growth rates in the future because of uncertainty.
Without competition, Company A is riskier than Company B which operates efficiently and competitively. There is that competitive edge that competitive companies possess. Monopolies do not enjoy that advantage. It is, therefore, riskier to have no competition.
Answer:
(C) Pepin The Short
Explanation:
In 741AD, Pepin took over from his father as Mayor of the Palace. He ruled alongside his elder brother.
In 743AD, Pepin and his brother chose Childeric to be the <em>apparent</em> King of the Franks. Both brothers still wielded the functional power to the throne. Childeric was just to 'appear to be' the King (unknown to him though).
In 747AD, Pepin's brother stepped down (intentionally and on his own accord). Pepin then became the only ruler of the entire Frankish territory.
In 751AD, Pepin, without full support from his clan, lured Childeric into monastery in order to remove him as the 'face of Francia'.
Pope Zacharias helped Pepin to be proclaimed King of the Franks, against all opposition.
Answer:
The correct answer is $302.40.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the computation can be done as:
To calculate firms' earning first we less cost of goods and total operating expenses from sales revenue:
= $3,060 - $1,800 - 600
= $660
Now we deduct the interest expense, then
= $660 - $126
= $534
Now we deduct tax rate, then
= $534 × $213.60 ( $534× 40%)
= $320.40
Now we finally deduct the dividends to get the firm's earning to common shareholder's, then
= $320.40 - 18
= $302.40
Hence, the firm's earning to common shareholder's is $302.40.
The philosophy discussed above is called enabling.
Enabling is providing workers with the education and tools they need to make decisions. Companies can empower workers by enabling them with the knowledge to make decisions that will benefit the company and satisfy the customers in the long run. This will lead to increase in profitability.
