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

Answer:
A distribution channel is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Answer:
Yes $30 agsinst $19.50
The variable cost for the first 50 untis is $17.50
Yes $30 against $27.25
average variable cost for the first 100 units $26.25
Marginal cost for the first 50 units: 17.50 which is lower than marginal revenue
from 51 units and subsequent untis: 35 which is higher than marginal revenue
It will produce 50 units achieving $525 of profit
Explanation:
$100 fixed cost /50 units + 17.50 = 19.50 average cost
selling price: $30
100 fixed cost + 17.50 x 50 + 35 x 50 = 2725
total cost 2,725 / 100 units = 27.25 unit average cost
selling price $30
($17.50 x 50 + $35 x 50)/100 = 26.25
After the 50untis our profit will decrease as the marginal revenue is lower than marginal cost thus, we stuop production at the 50 units:
50 x 30 - 100 fixed cost - 17.50 x 50 variable cost = 525 profit
