SolarSprout serves price-sensitive customers while using retained profit; the case evidence includes break-even output of ?7,365, sales of 630 units, and a 10% change in costs or demand. Which option best applies Explain the main business aims and objectives: survival, profit maximisation, domestic and international growth, market share, customer satisfaction, social and ethical objectives and shareholder value?

The correct option is: Use survival, shareholder value, growth, profit maximisation to judge gross profit margin, suppliers impact, and the business objective in Aims and objectives.

This is the best-supported choice because Use survival, shareholder value, growth, profit maximisation to judge gross profit margin, suppliers impact, and the business objective in Aims and objectives. The case evidence gives ?8,865, 630 units, and 10%, so the answer must explain the commercial effect rather than repeat a definition. The distractors are weaker because they confuse fixed and variable costs, miss the suppliers, or ignore the business objective.
