- The board of directors of Mystery Entertainment, Inc., wants the CEO to boost return on equity (ROE). During a recent interview, they announced their plan to improve the firm’s financial performance. They will raise the prices on all of the company’s products by 10%. They justify the plan by observing that ROE can be decomposed into the product of profit margin, asset turnover, and financial leverage. By raising prices, it is believed this will increase the profit margin and thus ROE. Is this reasonable? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardMr. Handsome is interested in the UGLY stock. He finds that the price should be $3, but the market price is $5 per share now. Mr. Handsome has $2,000 in his margin account.
