Q2. 'Profit is the maximum value a company can distribute during the year and still expect to be worth as much at the end of the year as it was at the beginning.' Discuss this statement, and comment on its value in measuring profit for decision-making. 

Q3. As a manager, would you prefer your business to be in a monopoly position or a perfectly competitive market? Why? Support your views with examples.
