Answer: C. The decline in the P/E ratio more than offset earnings growth and this pushed the market cap down. 
Explanation:
Market Cap = P/E ratio * Earnings
Market cap is dependent on both the P/E ratio and Earnings as shown by the formula and as shown on the graph, the P/E ratio kept on decreasing which means that for the Market Cap to decrease, the downward pull of the P/E ratio must have overshadowed the growth in earnings such that the Market Cap went down instead of up. 
For instance, if the earnings were $40 billion and the P/E ratio was 15, Market Cap would be $600 billion. 
If earnings increased to $45 billion but P/E ratio decreased to 10, Market Cap would become $450 billion. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
a. the purpose of this proposal is to show how we can reorganize our department to improve our efficiency while keeping intact the values that have allowed us to succeed to this point.
Explanation:
If you are writing a restructuring proposal, it means that you have mapped out points that can be improved in your department. However, the organizational structures of firms can rarely be changed drastically. What are usually applicable are the policies for improving processes, so that they become more and more efficient. This applies in general, but especially if you are going to propose changes to a structure that was designed by a superior of yours, who probably has more experience than you. Thus, you must present a restructuring project that identifies points to be improved, that proposes alternatives for improvement, but that maintains the values policy that was instituted by your manager. In this way, your manager will see your contribution as adding value to the structure and your work will be valued.
