Answer 1

Answer:

D. Market value of existing stock

Explanation:

Among the options listed, the market value of existing stock is the value that best describes the financial health of an organization.

However, the true primary goal of every financial manager is to maximize profits (current profits are only a type of profit, this is why the A option is not correct).
