Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Each of the four components is heavily influenced by management. The profit margin is a function of how well managers control expenses, the asset turnover is a function of which assets the manager has chosen to purchase for the firm and how well those assets generate revenues. Leverage is the third component and managers choose the firm's capital structure, i.e., how to pay for the assets. Finally, the retention ratio is also a management decision.

Company policy about how to control expenses, the types of assets to buy, how to fund those assets, and how to distribute earnings to shareholders are all determined by executive management.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
