Answer:

<em>The correct answer is:</em> cost leadership

Explanation:

According to Porter, every company has a strategy, whether planned or unplanned, being directly influenced by the environment in which it operates and by the industries and competitive sector. For him, companies should use the generic strategies mentioned by him so that they can survive the five competitive forces of the industry. Porter's generic strategies are: cost leadership, differentiation and focus.

The most appropriate generic strategy for the above question is cost leadership, whose central objective is to achieve total leadership in a given sector, using appropriate policies and procedures for that purpose.

The objective is achieved when a company develops a quality structure that brings together efficient equipment, qualification of personnel and control of expenses in order to maintain a low cost that generates greater returns for the company than those of its competitors.

Valence Electronics has 213 million shares outstanding. It expects earnings at the end of the year of $800 million. Valence pays
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

$75.12 million

Explanation:

For computation of Valence's share price first we need to find out the share price which is shown below:-

Share price = (Paid earning of Valence × Ended year of expected earning) ÷ (Equity cost of capital - Expected growth rate)

= (40% × $800 million) ÷ (9% - 7%)

= (0.4 × $800 million) ÷ (0.09 - 0.07)

= $320 million ÷ 0.02

= $16,000 million

Now, Valence's share price

= Total value ÷ Outstanding total shares

= $16,000 million ÷ 213 million

= $75.12 million
