Answer: b. A standardized product available without any local responsiveness.
Explanation:
A global strategy refers to when a company aims to expand across the globe. One of the strategies is known as Standardisation.
This is a policy where the company that hopes to expand decides that it wants to make a standard product that is the same the world over. By not making it available without local responsiveness ( differentiating it by adding local features to it), the company signals that they want their product to be the same around the world.
It is very useful to some companies such as Apple which has the iPhone around the world with no local customisation and Dominoes Pizza which aims to have their pizza taste the same the world over.

g In 2010, the MoreForLess Company had revenues of $2,000,000 while costs were $1,500,000. In 2011, MoreForLess will be introducing a new product line that will generate $200,000 in sales revenues and $160,000 in costs. Assuming no changes are expected for the other products, the differential operating profit for 2011 is
Answer:
$40,000
Explanation:
Differential operating profit refers to how much will the company's operating profit change if another project or projects is/are carried out.
In this case, the normal operating profit = $2,000,000 - $1,500,000 = $500,000. When the new product line is introduced, additional revenues and costs will result in $40,000 more in profits (= $200,000 - $160,000). The differential operating profits are the $40,000 generated by the new product line.
B is known in the trade as a trader and merchant of soybeans. A entrusts a load of soybeans to B for storage in B's warehouse. Secretly, B delivers the goods to an ocean carrier in return for a bill of lading. B then sells the document covering a shipment of soybeans to C, who has purchased soybeans from B in the past. C pays for the document through its bank. B absconds with the money. In this case:________.
A) B is guilty of a crime under the Uniform Commercial Code.B) C is probably not a good faith purchaser.C) C takes paramount title.D) B and the carrier are liable for a conspiracy to commit fraud.
Answer:
C
Explanation:

Family branding is a marketing concept where a company with strong equity uses a single brand name to sell two or more products under the same category.
In the question we see two broad categories:
Foods;CargoAnd there, you have under each broad group, sub-categories using the brand Uber.
Real-life examples of successful umbrella brands are:
Apple (iPhone, iMac, iPod etc)AdidasPokémon etc.The advantage of Umbrella Branding as a business strategy is that the cost required to launch a product under a different brand is significantly avoided if the new product is affixed with the existing brand.
If however, the company fails to get it right, by enveloping a different line of product in the existing brand, it may water down the brand and also confuse customers.

Calisto Launch Services is an independent space corporation and has been contracted to develop and launch one of two different satellites. Initial equipment will cost $750,000 for the first satellite and $850,000 for the second. Development will take 5 years at an expected cost of $150,000 per year for the first satellite; $120,000 per year for the second. The same launch vehicle can be used for either satellite and will cost $275,000 at the time of the launch 5 years from now. At the conclusion of the launch, the contracting company will pay Calisto $2,500,000 for either satellite. Calisto is also considering whether they should consider launching both satellites. Because Calisto would have to upgrade its facilities to handle two concurrent projects, the initial costs would rise by $150,000 in addition to the first costs of each satellite. Calisto would need to hire additional engineers and workers, raising the yearly costs to a total of $400,000. An additional compartment would be added to the launch vehicle at an additional cost of $75,000. As an incentive to do both, the contracting company will pay for both launches plus a bonus of $1,000,000. Using a present worth analysis with a MARR of 10 percent/year, what should Calisto Launch Services do?
Answer:
The three different alternatives have positive NPVs. The alternative with the highest NPV is alternative 3, to develop and launch both satellites (NPV = $241,891). This alternative also has the highest IRR (12.1%). So Calisto should work on both satellites.
Explanation:
satellite 1 satellite 2
initial cost $750,000 $850,000
if 2 satellites developed $150,000
development cost year 1 $150,000 $120,000
if 2 satellites developed $130,000
development cost year 2 $150,000 $120,000
if 2 satellites developed $130,000
development cost year 3 $150,000 $120,000
if 2 satellites developed $130,000
development cost year 4 $150,000 $120,000
if 2 satellites developed $130,000
development cost year 5 $150,000 $120,000
if 2 satellites developed $130,000
launch vehicle cost year 5 $275,000
if 2 satellites developed $75,000
revenue from launching $2,500,000 $2,500,000
bonus for launching both $1,000,000
MARR = 10%
since there is not enough room here, I used an excel spreadsheet to calculate NPVs of launching satellite 1, satellite 2 or both.
Joe has just moved to a small town with only one golf course, the Northlands Golf Club. His inverse demand function is pequals=140140minus−22q, where q is the number of rounds of golf that he plays per year. The manager of the Northlands Club negotiates separately with each person who joins the club and can therefore charge individual prices. This manager has a good idea of what Joe's demand curve is and offers Joe a special deal, where Joe pays an annual membership fee and can play as many rounds as he wants at $2020, which is the marginal cost his round imposes on the Club. What membership fee would maximize profit for the Club? The manager could have charged Joe a single price per round. How much extra profit does the Club earn by using two-part pricing? The profit-maximizing membership fee (F) is $nothing. (Enter your response as a whole number.)
Answer: $1800
Explanation:
Here is the correct question:
Joe has just moved to a small town with only one golf course, the Northlands Golf Club. His inverse demand function is p=140-2q, where q is the number of rounds of golf that he plays per year. The manager of the Northlands Club negotiates separately with each person who joins the club and can therefore charge individual prices. This manager has a good idea of what Joe's demand curve is and offers Joe a special deal, where Joe pays an annual membership fee and can play as many rounds as he wants at $20, which is the marginal cost his round imposes on the Club. What membership fee would maximize profit for the Club? The manager could have charged Joe a single price per round. How much extra profit does the Club earn by using two-part pricing? The profit-maximizing membership fee (F) is $nothing. (Enter your response as a whole number.)
Answer:
p = 140 - 2q
The profit-maximizing membership fee will be equal to total surplus
Therefore, the number of rounds that Joe played will be,
P = MC
20 = 140 - 2q
2q = 140 - 20
2q = 120
q = 120/2
q = 60
Total surplus = 1/2 × (vertical intercept of the demand curve - marginal cost) × the quantiy of rounds.
Total surplus = 1/2 × (140 - 20) × 60
= 1/2 × 120 × 60
= 3600
Therefore, the maximum membership fee will be = $3600.
If the firm charge Joe a single price , then the rounds provided will be such that MR = MC
Total revenue = price × quantity
TR = (140 - 2q) × q
TR = 140q - 2q²
MR = dTR/dQ = 140 - 4q
We then equate MR = MC
140 - 4q = 20
4q = 140 - 20
4q = 120
q = 120/4
q = 30
P = 140 - 2q
P = 140 - (2 × 30)
P = 140 - 60
P = 80
Therefore, the profit if a single price is charge will be:
= TR - TC = pq - MC×q = (P-MC)×Q
= (80-20) × 30
= $1800
Therefore, the increase in the profit by two-par pricing will be:
=Membership fee - Profit of single price charge
= $3600 - $1800
= $1800

A. He can impose consequential damages on Melinda.
B. He can recover under the specific performance provision.
C. No, he cannot recover for injuries that could be easily avoided.
D. No, he cannot recover damages till he gets an injunction.
Answer: No, he cannot recover for injuries that could be easily avoided
Explanation:
From the question, Roy was doing repair work in the apartment of Melinda and saw a deep crack in the floor but he did not repair it at the time. Later when he was doing ceiling work, his ladder got stuck in the crack and he got injured.
In this scenario, Roy cannot recover damages from Melinda. He saw the crack in the floor but did not do anything about it. The injury sustained was as a result of his negligence and he could have avoided it. Hence, he cannot recover for injuries that could be easily avoided.

A business will construct its financial statements in a particular order because they are interrelated. This means that items formulated in an earlier statement feed into the subsequent statements, and changes to items on one financial statement can have compounding effects on the overall financial position of a company. Which of the following is one reason the statement of owner's equity is prepared after the income statement?
a. Retained earnings are computed on the income statement.
b. Net income is the beginning retained earnings amount.
c. Retained earnings is really an asset.
d. Net income is part of the computation for ending retained earnings.
Answer: d. Net income is part of the computation for ending retained earnings.
Explanation:
In the statement of owner's equity, Retained earnings are calculated and it is done with the Net Income. This is why when the net income is calculated from the Income Statement it is transfered to the SOE and used to calculate Retained Earnings.
Retained Earnings are calculated by the formula,
Ending Retained = Opening Retained Earnings + Net Income (losses) - Dividends
Net income is added to (or subtracted from if it is a Net loss) the Opening Retained earnings balance. Net dividends are also subtracted.
A man works for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: splishy splashies, frizzles, and kipples. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, a man knows that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods.
Run-of-the-Mills provides man's marketing firm with the following data: When the price of splishy splashies decreases by 5%, the quantity of frizzles sold increases by 4% and the quantity of kipples sold decreases by 6%. A man's job is to use the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and the other goods to determine which goods to a man marketing firm should advertise together.
Complete the first column of the following table by computing the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and frizzles, and then between splishy splashies and kipples. In the second column, determine if splishy splashies are a complement to or a substitute for each of the goods listed. Finally, complete the final column by indicating should be recommended marketing with splishy splashies.Relative to Splishy Splashies Recommend Marketing with Splishy Splashies
Cross-Price Elasticity of Demand Complement or Substitute
Frizzles _____ _____ _____
Kipples _____ _____ _____
Answer and Explanation:
According to the given situation, when the amount of splishy splashies decrease by 5%, quantity of frizzles increases by 4%.
So, The cross price elasticity of frizzles relative to splishy splashies = Percentage change in quantity demand for frizzles ÷ Percentage change in price for splishy splashies
= 4 ÷ -5
= -0.80
Now,
Cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and kipples = Percentage change in quantity demand for Kipples ÷ Percentage change in price for splishy splashies
= -6% ÷ -5%
= 1.20
b. Since there is negative cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and frizzles, these products are complementary.
The elasticity of the cross-price between splendid splashies and kipples is positive, these goods being substitutes.
c. Here, I would therefore recommend Raskels marketing, since these two are used together.
The required Table are as shown below:-
Particulars Cross-Price Elasticity Complements Recommended
of Demand or Substitute Marketing with
splishy splashies
Frizzles 0.80 Complements Yes
Kipples 1.20 Substitute No

e. $2,250 reduction in taxable income
The $6,750 was paid for 3 months. Joe uses Accrual accounting however meaning that expenses have to be recorded for the period they are incurred. $2,250 was incurred for December and so that is the amount that will be deducted as an expense for the year.

This includes $550 for airfare, $600 for lodging and for food and entertainment, the maximum he can claim as deductible in tax is 50% of each which means $250 for meals and $200 for entertainment. Adding all that up will give $1,600.

A firm sells two products, Regular and Ultra. For every unit of Regular sold, two units of Ultra are sold. The firm's total fixed costs are $1,947,000. Selling prices and cost information for both products follow. What is the firm's break-even point in units of Regular and Ultra?
Answer:
the firm must sell 37,443 units of Regular and 74,886 units of Ultra
Explanation:
Regular - unit sales price= $20; Variables costs per unit = $8
Ultra - unit sales price= $24; Variables costs per unit = $4
combined contribution margin:
1 unit of regular = $20 - $8 = $122 units of ultra = $48 - $8 = $40total = $52break even point = total fixed costs / combined contribution margin = $1,947,000 / $52 = 37,442.31 ≈ 37,443 units
the firm must sell 37,443 units of Regular and 74,886 units of Ultra
Shelton Co. purchased a parcel of land six years ago for $873,500. At that time, the firm invested $145,000 in grading the site so that it would be usable. Since the firm wasn't ready to use the site itself at that time, it decided to lease the land for $54,000 a year. The company is now considering building a warehouse on the site as the rental lease is expiring. The current value of the land is $925,000. What value should be included in the initial cost of the warehouse project for the use of this land?
Answer:
$925,000
Explanation:
The value of the land that would be included in the initial cost of the warehouse is it market value of $925,000 which the land currently commands.
The rationale for this are numerous:
Firstly,if the land was not previously owned by Shelton Co, would have to purchase a similar land at its market value.
Secondly, if the land was not deployed to the project, it could be sold now for cash at $925,000
A short forward contract that was negotiated some time ago will expire in three months and has a delivery price of $40. The current forward price for three-month forward contract is $42. The three month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) is 8%. What is the value of the short forward contract?
Answer:
-$1.96 is the value.
Explanation:
The contract gives obligation to sell for $40 when a forward price negotiated today would give one obligation to sell for $42.
The value of contract is present value of
40 - 42= -$2
The rate is at 8%
8%= 0.08
3 months= 3/12= 0.25 years
The present value can be calculated as
Value of present contract= -2e^(0.08 x 0.25)
Value of present contract= -$1.96
In each of the following cases, what is the effect on the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve? An increase in firm costs A. does not shift the SRAS curve. B. shifts the SRAS curve upward. C. shifts the SRAS curve downward. An increase in the money supply A. does not shift the SRAS curve. B. shifts the SRAS curve downward. C. shifts the SRAS curve upward. An increase in consumption A. shifts the SRAS curve upward. B. does not shift the SRAS curve. C. shifts the SRAS curve downward.
Answer: 1. B. shifts the SRAS curve upward.
2. A. does not shift the SRAS curve.
3. B. does not shift the SRAS curve.
Explanation:
1. When Firm costs rise, the input cost for Producers rises and they respond by reducing production so as to reduce the cost of production. This reduction causes a reduction in Supply that forces the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve to shift left (upward).
2. This change in the Money Supply means that there will be more money for households to spend. This increases demand but does not have any direct influence on the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve.
3. An Increase in consumption means that there is greater demand for goods and services in an Economy. Indirectly this will cause producers to ramp up production to meet these needs but directly, there is no influence on the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve.

Explanation:
From the question, the boss is concerned about the research plan and says that he does not believe that we are ready to run causal research on the effects of advertising and further said we should re-evaluate the descriptive research options.
Based on the scenario above, I'll choose to research the attitudes that U.S. women and consumers over 35 have towards the eSports industry. By choosing this option, I'll have a large sample size to carry out the descriptive research.
It should also be noted that the descriptive method consist of qualitative natural survey and also the cross sectional research.

Sales = $95805
Less: Costs = $75885
Less depreciation expense ($95805 - $75,885 - 14281.54) = $5638.46
EBIT (12161.54 + 2120) = 14281.54
Less: Interest expense =2120
EBT (100%)(7905/0.65) = 12161.54
Less: tax at 35%(12161.54*35%) =4256.54
The Net income(65%) = 7905
The Less:dividends = 3040
Addition to retained earnings =4865
Allowing a tax credit for certain solar energy property can be justified: a.Based on the wherewithal to pay concept. b.As helping small businesses. c.As promoting administrative feasibility. d.As promoting a government policy to use alternative energy sources. e.None of these choices are correct.
Answer: As promoting a government policy to use alternative energy sources.

A tax credit is a form of tax incentive which can help in the reduction of the amount of money that a taxpayer is owing the government. Here, the taxpayer can just deduct the tax credit from the total amount of taxes that the individual owe thereby leading to him paying a lower amount as tax.
In this case, allowing tax credit for certain solar energy property may be a way the government wants to make people start using other forms of energy. Giving tax credit will lead to a cheaper price for the solar energy products.
