1. Complete Experiential Exercise 4C, Step 1, on textbook pages 124. Once you have found Table 4-6, complete the first 18 ratios and then 2 of your choice from the remaining ratios (this will equal the 20 required in the Assurance of Learning Exercise). Make sure that you show your work! It is required! Remember to always show your work, which means you need to show what actual figures you are using. You must complete 20 out of the 22 ratios listed in the book. Remember that you will be pulling from the financial information listed in the book.

The Future
As CEO Doyle and his management team contemplate the future direction of Domino's, it has much to consider. Should the firm continue its aggressive market development strategies and accept the risk associated with expanding into markets it has little expertise operating within? What new geographic locations or regions should Domino's focus? Should Domino's simply follow Pizza Hut's international rollout of stores? How would this expansion affect the corporate structure of Domino's? Would restructuring by geographic division and thus establishing offices in Asia, the Middle East, and South America better enable them to manage these more risky environments? Can Domino's afford this financially? Should Domino's consider offering salads or a line of healthy menu options? Should Domino's purchase trucks to deliver its products rather than incurring such heavy leasing expenses? Domino's needs a clear three-year strategic plan. prepare this document for the company.
