Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
The net profit margin is
= Net income ÷ sales revenue
= $184,000 ÷ $574,000
= 32%
The asset turnover is
= Sales revenue ÷ average of assets
= $574,000 ÷ ($2,142,000 + $1,998,000) ÷ 2
= $574,000 ÷ $2,070,000
= 0.28 times
c. The return on assets is
= Net income ÷ average of assets
= $184,000 ÷ $2,070,000
= 0.089
= 8.89%

Answer:
C. Neither Mary nor Sharon can claim breach of contract.
Explanation:
Mary buys a lottery ticket and promises to buy her friend Sharon a new pair of shoes if she checks the lottery results while Mary is away.
Sharon agrees to do so, provided she has the time for it.
If Sharon fails to check the results and Mary wins the lottery, then it would be true of the contract between Mary and Sharon that Neither Mary nor Sharon can claim breach of contract.
The reason is Mary's promise is based on the condition that Sharon checks the result, Sharon's promise is based on the condition that 'if she has the time for it.'
The condition was not met by Sharon hence she cannot claim a breach of contract because she did not check the results, similarly, Mary cannot sue Sharon because sharon made it clear that she will only check If she has the time.

Answer:
Small individual investors will benefit the most.
Explanation:
From the case given, it can be established that small individual investors represent the bulk of shareholders or business owners.
Also, from Smith Jones stock, we see that Pension and Mutual Fund constitute a bulk in the share position, and the direct intervention of shareholders motivate the management.
From the foregoing analysis, the shareholders holders have thus seek to incorporate corporate governance in the organization as a tool to reduce the agency problem between business owners and management. By this, management objectives and the shareholders could be aligned. The business owners singular objective is the profit maximization of their wealth, while the management is interested in their job security, status, mutual funds, pension and all. Since this objective of management has been duly taken care of by the shareholders, it is believer that this will boost the management morale and ultimately improve their performance. The result is thus increase in organisational performance with resultant growth in profit, share price and returns from the business. These are benefits to the individual investors.
