Asset management ratios are important - firms need to manage assets efficiently because capital obtained to acquire those assets is expensive. These ratios include the: (1) Inventory turnover ratio, (2) Days sales outstanding, (3) Fixed assets turnover, and (4) Total assets turnover. The inventory turnover ratio indicates how many times during the year inventory is -Select- and restocked. Its equation is: Excess inventory is unproductive and represents an investment with a -Select- rate of return. An alternative definition of the inventory turnover ratio replaces sales in the numerator with -Select- . The rationale for this measurement is that inventory is carried at cost, so sales in the numerator overstates the true inventory turnover ratio. The days sales outstanding (DSO) ratio is also called the average collection period (ACP). Its equation is:

Bruce Church, Inc. is a company engaged in extensive commercial farming in Arizona and California. A provision of the Arizona Fruit and Vegetable Standardization Act requires that all cantaloupes grown in Arizona "be packed in regular compact arrangement in closed standard containers approved by the supervisor." Arizona, through its agent Pike, issued an order prohibiting Bruce Church from transporting uncrated cantaloupes from its range in Parker, Arizona, to nearby Blythe, California, for packing and processing. It would take many months and $200,000 for Bruce Church to construct a processing plan int Parker. Further, Bruce Church had $700,000 worth of cantaloupes ready for transportation. Bruce Church filed suit in federal district court challenging the constitutionality of the Arizona statutory provision on shipping cantaloupes. The court issued an injunction (essentially saying the statute was not constitutional) against the enforcement of the act on the grounds that it was an undue hardship on interstate commerce. Answer the following questions: 1. What is the Commerce Clause? 2. Will the Arizona regulation withstand Commerce Clause scrutiny? Why or why not?

Last week, an investigative reporter for a major metropolitan newspaper discovered that the doctors conducting clinical trials of a new cancer treatment drug are also the principal shareholders in Cancer Solutions Inc. (CSI). CSI is the company developing and attempting to market the drug. Upon being interviewed by federal authorities, the doctors acknowledged their conflict of interest but reported that they were sold the shares at a 75% discount by CSI's chief financial officer. The CFO was concerned that CSI might not be able to meet its annual performance objectives and in turn pay his anticipated multimillion-dollar bonus.
Does an agency conflict exist between CSI's CFO and the company's shareholders?
a. Yes; CSI's CFO engaged in unethical conduct to manipulate the firm's short-term earnings and improve the likelihood of receiving his annual bonus.
b. Yes; the shares should not have been sold at a 75% discount, which is price discrimination.
c. No; professionals, such as doctors and professional money managers, would not participate in unethical activities.
d. No; in general, shareholders are satisfied with company officers engaging in any type of legal or illegal activity to ensure the chances of them receiving greater dividend payments.
Which of the following actions will help ease agency conflicts and better align managers' objectives with the firm's shareholder wealth?
a. Pay the manager a combination of salary and stock options (phased in over several years) that reward him or her for consistently increasing shareholder wealth.
b. Pay the manager a large base salary with a huge stock option package that matures on a single date.
