Answer:

Threat of Substitutes
Threat of New entrants/ Competitors

Explanation:

This question relates to Porter's five forces.

A patent on a good protects that good from being able to be copied or produced by other companies.

Should a company lose this protection, companies will be allowed to make substitutes to the products without running afoul of the law. The company will therefore face an increased threat from Substitutes.

Other companies will also be able to produce the goods or offer the services now which would mean that new entrants/ competitors can come into the market for that good or service.

malfutka [58]

a)Little book LTD earning per share is $1.118 per share.

Explanation:

To calculate earning per share we will use following formula:

$\frac{net income}{weighted average shares outstanding}$

Now to find net income we will take help of asset turnover ratio : $\frac{net sales}{total asset}$

Asset turnover ratio = $\frac{x}{860000}$

$\begin{align}\frac{x}{$86000}\end{align}$ 1.5 × $860000 = x

x (net sales) = $1290000

Outstanding shares = 75000 shares

So Net Income = $1290000×.065

= $83850

Now Earning per share = $\frac{83850}{75000}$

Earning per share = $1.118

b) Market to Book Ratio will be 1.2 for Little Book LTD.

Explanation:

Market to Book Ratio = $\frac{Market Capitalization}{Total Book Value}$

Market Capitalization = $ 75000× $ 12

= $900000

So, Market To Book Ratio = $\frac{900000}{750000}$

Market To Book Ratio = 1.2
