问题如下:
Analyst collected the financial information about PZ company in the following table:
PZ’s segment information is in the following table:
PZ’s segment EBIT margins in 2018 were 15% for Investment business, 9% for Consulting business and 12% for Training business
Based on the Dupont analysis, analyst believes the firm could increase the ROE if the company divested segments that were generating the lowest returns on capital employed,
Which business segment best suited for divestiture is:
选项:
A.Investment business
B.Consulting business
C.Training business
解释:
B is correct.
考点:capital allocation
解析:
可以直接观察 CapEx%和Assets%,如果前者大于后者,说明在加速投资,三个部门中,investment和consulting都在加速投资,但是consulting的EBITmargin最低,是9%,所以应该剔除该部门。
我觉得不管consulting 是加速投资还是减速投资,因为它EBIT margin 最低,就应该剔除,感觉这一问是为了考这个点故意这么出,理解起来别扭
