"The primary goal of the business firm is to maximize the wealth of the firm's owners." For a corporation, this statement means that managers should focus on maximizing the wealth of its shareholders or its:
net income
minimize the risk
stock price
sales revenue
The answer is
Stock price
Stockholders’ Wealth = Stock Price*Number of shares
Hence, stock price is to be maximized to maximize the wealth of the shareholders
Net Income and Sales revenue will not lead to maximization of wealth
