The primary operating goal of a publicly-owned firm trying to best serve its stockholders should be to
a. maximize managers' own interests, which are by definition consistent with maximizing shareholders' wealth.
b. maximize the firm's expected eps, which must also maximize the firm's price per share.
c. minimize the firm's risks because most stockholders dislike risk. in turn, this will maximize the firm's stock price.
