  Lower product cost translates to better EPS
- B.
  
  Higher E&O and lower buy-down translates to better EPS
- C.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Lower product cost translates to better EPS

Explanation
Lower product cost translates to better EPS because when the cost of producing a product is lower, the company can either sell it at a lower price, which can increase sales volume, or maintain the same price and increase profit margin. In both cases, the company's earnings per share (EPS) would be positively affected. Lower product cost can also lead to improved efficiency and cost management, which can further contribute to better EPS.

Correct Answer
C. All the above

Explanation
"Inventory Turns" refers to a metric that measures how many times a company is able to sell its inventory within a year. It is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold by the average inventory value. This metric helps businesses assess their efficiency in managing inventory and can be used to optimize inventory levels. Additionally, "Inventory Turns" can also be interpreted as "Weeks of supply," which indicates the number of weeks a company's inventory can sustain its sales. Therefore, the correct answer is "All the above" as both explanations accurately describe what "Inventory Turns" mean.

It also does not come from a non-nettable location, which refers to a location that is not eligible for netting or offsetting of financial transactions. Therefore, the correct answer is "None of the above."
