The strategic options for expansion into foreign markets include

•Employing a franchising strategy would create room for expansion into foreign markets as most brands in the country will have their presence in other countries thereby creating a market presence and increasing revenue.

•Maintaining a national (one-country) production base and exporting goods to foreign markets. They emphasis on manufacturing and exporting cannot be overemphasized enough as it boosts a countries economy.

•licensing foreign firms to produce and distribute one's products. This gives foreign firms the ability to strengthen the nation's economy

•Establishing a subsidiary in a foreign market, making various branches in the foreign market will help the country gain relevance in the foreign market.

Creating products and services that are not subject to tariffs and local regulations is not a typical strategic option for expanding into foreign markets; realistic options include exporting, licensing, franchising, and establishing subsidiaries.

The strategic options for expansion into foreign markets include all of the following except creating products and services that are not subject to tariffs and local regulations. This statement does not represent a common or viable strategy for market expansion since it is unrealistic to expect products and services to be completely exempt from such restrictions. On the other hand, valid strategic options for entering foreign markets include maintaining a national production base and exporting goods, licensing production to foreign firms, franchising, and establishing a subsidiary in the foreign market. Each strategy has its benefits and compromises, such as competitive advantages through specialization, facing tariffs and standards that can impact pricing and production, and deciding between a free trade association, common market, or economic union basis for international trade.

Answer:

correct option is D. $12,000

Explanation:

given data

invested = $10,000

distributed = $2,000

dividend = $160

capital gain = $400

solution

As when investor beginning trust shares is  $10,000 and 2,000 of distributions  

so that here all subject to tax in years tax return

and here reinvestment in to new trust shares that is increase basis from $10,000 to $12,000

so investor have capital gain when sell all the shares more than $12,000

so here they have capital loss if sale  less than $12,000

so correct option is D. $12,000

Answer:

3. Bridgestone tires purchased by Ford Motor Co

Explanation:

GDP is the total value of the output of a country. It captures the value of all the new products and services produced within the borders of a nation. An increase in GDP signifies growth in the economy.

Economists consider the value of new and finished consumer products only when calculating GDP. Goods and services meant for the production of other goods and services are excluded. If included, it would result in double-counting. Tires bought by the Ford motors are to be used in the production of motor vehicles. They are capital goods. Tires bought by the secret service, the Canadian collectors, and in the garage are for consumption; hence should be included in the GDP.

The value of intermediate goods, such as tires sold at a local garage, is not included when calculating GDP.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a specific period of time, usually a year. When calculating GDP, certain items are excluded. One of these items is the value of intermediate goods, which are goods used in the production of other goods. For example, the value of the iron used in the production of a refrigerator would not be included in GDP. Similarly, tires sold at your local garage are considered intermediate goods and would not be included in GDP.

Answer:

Option A-First mover advantage

Explanation:

The first mover advantage is the advantage to the firm who first steps in to take the risks to ensure future benefits in the long term perspective. The particular example includes of TaTa company in India which has more than 90% of the market and was the first company in India that tried to meet requirements of every class of person, small and medium organization to large corporations. This increased production helped the company to gain economies of scale and the country import policies also though do helped the company.

Furthermore, here the advertising firm is not investing but is a means of investment for many investors which means it has no investment in the country and hence there are no forward integration and lateral diversification.

It can also be noted that the company was not transferring its technology in the state option E is also incorrect.

The unrelated differentiation comes when the firm offer its customers a uniqueness of product services which in this case can not be seen prominent. The company advertises similar to other advertises like the other firms and is not pursuing unrelated differentiation so the option C is also incorrect.

Solution:

1. Two men and a truck have an advantage of making their workers comply with the Grandma Law, which demonstrates respect and compassion for their clients. It welcomed new buyers, retained the faithfulness of current customers and made the company's own identity distinctive. The freedom of Two People and a Truck was another plus.

Two men and a truck were using the unsegmented approach to the market that many small companies have to or plan to do. This was based in its business or division on any consumer.

The marketing technique used was the conventional and modern internet and social media marketing method, PR&D and the news media.

2.  A) a lack of venture value: because they were a very small enterprise that used to carry their operations out, most customers had lost confidence or a value in their funding, believing their concept of selling franchises was not a successful one.

b) Failure to have sufficient funding: Originally, as this business started to expand rapidly, it emerged as a money-making workplace; a big concern was the shortage of investment resources.

Suggestions for addressing this were: using alternate funding strategies such as retained profits, bank loans, and so on.

3.  Two men and a truck should sell concessions outside North America. That is a smart idea. It is because since developing the organization, it is clear that it knows its strong fields, which it will use to develop a stable presence on the world market, with some 300 franchises in North America. Furthermore, this packaging and shipping company's business model is something essential and recognizable in the world.

Global franchises are more likely to question the organization if it is willing to adapt or deviate its strategies in order to suit the consumer market in a different country with a particular philosophy from the North American community, its corporate social management programs, its goals and its organizational ethics.

Answer:

b) Decrease

Explanation:

When a company use borrowed money to repurchase shares, the borrowed money is at a cost, therefore the earnings per share will only increase if the company's earning yield(earnings per share/price per share) is greater than the after-tax cost borrowing rate.

However in the case that the after-tax cost borrowing rate is equal to the company's earning yield, the earnings per share will remain the same, and if the after-tax cost borrowing rate exceeds the company's earning yield, the earnings per share would decrease.

Answer:

4. understated by $64000

Explanation:

Purchase cost increases the cost of goods sold and reduces profit before tax (PBT) income.

Similarly, closing inventory balance increases profits before tax income.

In the given case, purchase cost is understated by $40,000 less $4000 i.e $36000. This would overstate the profits by $ 36000. Whereas, omission of closing inventory from records of $100,000 would understate profits by $100,000.

Thus, the net effect of the two mentioned omissions and errors would lead to understated profits by $100,000 less $36000 i.e by $64,000.

Final answer:

The message is considered professional as it is clear, polite, and concise, reflecting the norms expected in business communications. It adequately considers the appropriate context, content, and audience, which are crucial for professional interactions.

Explanation:

The message sent from a BlackBerry mobile device to a client saying, "Jack, are you available this evening? I’d like to touch base on the Smith project. Best, Katie." is professional. It is succinct, polite, and to the point, which aligns with best practices for business communications. Daily business operations often involve formats and protocols that differ from personal communication, including heightened content and audience consideration.

Key aspects of professional texting include addressing recipients politely, stating the purpose of the message clearly, and maintaining a formal, respectful tone. These practices help to ensure the message is understood and makes a positive impression on the recipient. The brevity and clarity of the message also demonstrate respect for the client's time, as texting is often used for short exchanges when a phone call may be inconvenient.

Professionals should also consider the recipient's preferences for communication times. If evening messages are acceptable to the recipient, then the message maintains its professionalism. This highlights the importance of understanding your audience and tailoring your communications accordingly, ensuring effectiveness and appropriateness in a business context.

Answer: Oil quart = $1.75 each and Labor fee = $14.65

Explanation:

First Car

5 oil quarts plus flat fee for labor = 23.40

Second Car

7 oil quarts plus flat fee for labor = 26.90

Labor is fixed which means the cost of labor for servicing the first car is equal to the cost of labor for servicing the second car. Hypothetically speaking if we used the same number of oil quarts in both cars, the cost of servicing  each car would be the same. The cost would be equal to $23.40, but now 2 more oil quarts were used in servicing the second car and costs rose to $26.90.

We know that labor is fixed therefore the change in total costs from $23.40 to $26.90 is caused by the extra two more oil quarts used in the second car. Therefore this means that the cost of 2 oil quarts is $3.50 (26.90 - 23.40) which tells us that  1 quarter of oil is equal to $1.75 ($3.5/ 2).

Cost servicing First Car

total cost of oil = 5 oil quarts x 1.75 = $8.75

Labor fee = 23.40 - 8.75 = $14.65

Cost of servicing the Second car

total cost of oil = 7 oil quarts x 1.75 = $12.25

Labor fee = 26.90 -  12.25 = $14.65

Oil quart = $1.75 each and Labor fee = $14.65

Answer:

A) An increase in sales revenue received by the firm.

Explanation:

If worker productivity increases, the total output produced by the company will increase while the average cost per unit produced will decrease. This should result in a rightward shift of the supply curve that decreases the product's price at every level of quantity demanded. Since the demand is elastic, a small decrease in price will result in a larger increase in quantity demanded.

Answer:

Greater perceived value.

Explanation:

Nora is deciding whether to purchase brand name sneakers or a store brand. She has purchased other shoes with the same brand name in the past but was only marginally satisfied. In this situation, Nora is likely to purchase the store brand sneakers because they offer greater perceived value. Perceived value can be defined as the customer's evaluation and analysis of the benefits of the products and their capability to meet their expectations, needs and wants, specifically when they compare it with their competitors. Customers think that certain products are better in meeting their needs and expectations, these exceptions can be real or may be un-real because in marketing, perception of quality is sometimes more important than the quality itself.

Answer:

$8

Explanation:

The computation of the cost per equivalent unit with respect to conversion is shown below:

= Total cost ÷ conversion equivalent units of production

where,

Total cost equal to

= Beginning Work in process cost of conversion + cost added in conversion

= $15,900 + $26,500

= $42,400

And, the conversion equivalent units of production is 5,300 units

So, the cost per equivalent unit is

= $42,400 ÷ 5,300 units

= $8

Answer: I have made a change in my financial part to think about having a more stable future.

Explanation:

Right now I am at a point where savings are a priority. A few years ago I was spending a lot of money and did not think long term. Last year I decided to grow financially and tour my life in that regard. Create two sources of savings. I have some savings that are for my future and other savings for travel. I do not take money from my savings for the future, I am prohibited. If an emergency arises, the money will go out of travel savings in case my emergency savings are not enough.

I am thinking long term. I am saving to buy real estate and then change my vehicle. I have two jobs, both where I have the flexibility and don't get overwhelmed. If you had not decided to put aside spending money excessively, you would have had nothing today and surely you could be suffering due to the changes we are currently going through.

Answer:

Aaron's key in controlling receivables is to have them aged, by sorting them into groups.

Explanation:

Aaron is keeping track of his accounts receivable which are the amounts owed by customers to Aaron. Aaron is sorting them into groups each seperated by 30 days past due. So the first group is of all the accounts receivables which are past their due date by 30 days, second group is of all the accounts receivables which are past their due date by 60 days and so on. So it is clear that Aaron is sorting the accounts receivables into groups according to their age.

Answer: aged

Explanation: Sorting accounts receivables by age means to arrange the receivables which are overdue for payment by their duration ranges. It lists the receivables in 30-days buckets where the overdue payment could be 30, 60, 90 days and so on. Typically, accounts receivables occur when the organization gives out the commodities or services on credit to customers hence the sorting of receivables by age to ascertain the success of the credit and to know the customers that are overdue in making their payments.

Answer:

Denominator

Lower

Numerator

Explanation:

The reason is that the statement is talking about the low per capita GDP which we can see in the picture attached with this answer.

We can see that if the denominator is lower which means that either population decreases or remains constant when the GDP has increased then the the growth in the per capita GDP will be higher because minute increases in the GDP will increase the answer with significant percentages.

Answer:

A country with a very low per capita GDP can have a very high growth rate because mathematically, when the DENOMINATOR is VERY LOW, even a small difference in the NUMERATOR will result in a large growth rate.

Explanation:

The reason why poor countries tend to grow at much higher rate than rich countries is fairly simple to explain, a small increase in absolute revenue will result in a large percent increase. On the other hand, rich countries need really large increases in revenue in order to get a small percent increase.

For example, in 2018 the GDP per capita in the US is $62,641, a $1,000 increase would result in only a 1.6% increase.

On the other hand, in 2018 the GDP per capita in China is $10,200, a $1,000 increase would result in a 9.8% increase.

in 2018 the GDP per capita in Africa (the whole continent) is $4,097.85, a $1,000 increase would result in a 24.4% increase.

In order to get a 24.4% increase in the American GDP per capita, an increase of $19,781.37 would be needed. China's economic indicators are showing this, before t grew by more than 10% per year, now it is growing below 7%, and soon it will be growing at around 5%. It is not possible to keep growing at extremely high rates forever.

Answer: Franchising.

Explanation:

As described in the question Burger King is taking part in franchising where it's company name and some key business information is shared with foreign companies and those company pay a little part of their profit to Burger King in return. Franchising is a business process which occurs when, a very successful/ well known business gives another business the right to use their business name and the known business gets paid a regular percentage of profit in return.

The market price of a bond can be found by calculating the present value of its future interest payments, or the coupon, plus the present value of its face value which is returned at the maturity date. The coupon is the bond's face value times the coupon rate. The market price is the sum of these two components.

To find out the market price of a bond, we need to calculate its present value. The present value of a bond is calculated as the present value of its future interest payments, or the so-called coupon, plus the present value of its face value which is returned at the maturity date.

The coupon is the annual interest payment and for this bond, it's the face value of the bond times the coupon rate, i.e. $1,000*8.5% = $85. The coupon is paid semiannually, so we divide it by 2 and get $42.50. To get the present value of the total coupons for the life of the bond, we sum the present values of each individual coupon payment over 6*2 = 12 periods (since payments are semiannually), bringing each to present using the yield to maturity (9.2%).

The second part of the bond’s present value is the face value (i.e., $1000) at maturity discounted to present using the yield to maturity. This represents the return of the initial investment at the end of the bond's life.

If we recall that the market price of the bond is the sum of these two components, we can eventually find it. Disclaimer: actual calculations can be very complex depending on the ways interest rates are compounded.

Answer:

B. greater employment

Explanation:

"Consumer spending" drives any country' economy. When consumer spending increases, the manufacturing businesses tries to meet the demand by increasing their spending. This means that the manufacturing companies need to hire more workers in order to continue its operations. So, this leads to a greater employment. When the output they produce creates a surplus, it results to many exports rather than fewer exports.  

So, this explains the answer.

Answer:C) 25 percent

Explanation:

option A

$200 now and another $200 one year from now

The Present value for this option = $200 + $200/(1 + r)

Option 2

$100 now and $325 one year from now

The Present Value for this option =  $100 + $325/(1 + r)

The question requires us to find an interest rate that will make the two prizes must be identical which means an interest that will make the present value of option A to be equal to the present value of option B

We therefore EQUATE present value formula for option A with present Value equation of option be and solve for variable " r "

$200 + $200/(1 + r) = $100 + $325/(1 + r)

100 + 325(1+r) = 200 + 200/(1 + r)

325/(1+r) = 200 + 200/(1+r) - 100 = 100 + 200/(1 + r)

325/(1 + r) = 100 + 200/(1 + r)

325/(1 + r ) = 100 x (1 + r)/(1 + r) + 200/(1+ r)

325/(1 + r) = (100 x (1 + r) + 200)/(1 + r)

cross multiply

(100 x (1 + r) + 200) x (1 + r) = 325 x (1 + r)

100(1+r)^2 + 200(1 + r) = 325(1 + r)

dividing the entire equation by (1 + r) we get

100(1 + r) + 200 = 325

100(1 + r) = 325 - 200 = 125

1 + r = 125/100 = 1.25

r = 1.25 - 1 = 0.25

R = 25%

The most important source of inequality arises from a person's relationship to the means of production." This statement might be heard from a Marxist.

Explanation:

According to Marxist theory, means of production are the factors formed by means of work and objects of work - or everything that mediates the relationship between human work and nature, in the process of transforming the nature itself in order to produce something.

According to Marxist theory, the human labor force and the means of production constitute the productive forces, which, together with the relations of production (social and technical). Each mode of production corresponds to a social structure - that is, a way of organizing society - and a certain pattern of relations between members of society.
