Answer 1

D. Fundamental analysis would now show the corporation is undervalued. The fact that the price was unchanged is not consistent with the efficient markets hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Under factors of production, we have Land ,labour ,capital and entrepreneur.

Labour are the prime movers of a business.If a new CEO with a good track record has been employed, then the value of the company will increase.

Technically, that Quadrangle Company has increased its production(which might mean that the goods and services they deliver to their clients has increased or the mode of delivery of services has been improved upon), the value is also meant to increase.

With all these indices in place, fundamental analysis will now show that the corperation is undervalued. so D

Fundamental analysis would now show the corporation is undervalued. The fact that the price was unchanged is not consistent with the efficient markets hypothesis

perfectly fits the answer
