A new management trainee Peter Jackson is speaking with the Managing Director of the company.

PETER: Good Morning. My name is Peter Jackson, I am the new management trainee.

MANAGING DIRECTOR: Hello, Peter! Management trainees are supposed to make themselves familiar with every department of the company. I think you might find it use­ful to write a company profile: Visit all the department heads. Introduce yourself. Find out everything you can about how the company is organized, how each depart­ment operates. I tell you what. How would you like to write a short report for me, say by the end of the week?

PETER: Yes, of course.

MANAGING DIRECTOR: Oh, would you like to make a start now?

PETER: Yes, of course, but before getting down to my report, will you explain me some basic notions?

MANAGING DIRECTOR: What exactly are you interested in?

PETER: Well, does the company profit depend on the turnover?

MANAGING DIRECTOR: First of all, I believe, that the company's profit depends on professional management, capital invested, and reliable personnel.

PETER: Oh, that's great! Thank you, I will remember that.

MANAGING DIRECTOR: One more thing. The company's image depends on its earnings per share and timely payout dividends to shareholders.
