| katybo | and the price? |
| danlan2 | Price of a service company is similar to that of a heavy equipment manufacturer. |
| Rchan89 | i think all else equal, a service company has less fixed assets they need to purchase than an auto manufacturer. |
| davidt876 | i dont think it makes sense to comment on the price or book value in isolation. you can justify that the ratio of P/B is higher in the service industry than in manufacturing, but you can't say that P or B are absolutely higher or lower in any industry. even if you found that average book value is higher in an industry, its most likely a function of consolidation or the long-term lifecycle of the industry |
I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
