Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: Global-standarization strategy because incentives would lower domestic costs.
Explanation:
To begin with, the term of ''global-standarization strategy'' in the field of business is known because of being part of the group of the four integration-responsiveness strategies and is the one that focus in the standarization of the product in a globally way. Therefore that this type of strategy is the one that would be used in the case of looking for an investment in the mass production locally due to the fact that the firms will be producing goods in a standard way and therefore that they would use universal supplies in every production in order to increase the amount of the production to achieve a mass number.
T/F: Risk management, a formalized way of dealing with hazards, is the logical process of weighing the potential costs of risks against the possible benefits of allowing those risks to stand uncontrolled.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Remember, risk can be weighted using certain parameters to see whether the potential costs of those risks is lower or higher than the possible benefits of allowing those risks to stand uncontrolled.
What makes this a "logical process of thinking" is the fact that it involves a careful mental evaluation of the risk, by asking the what ifs questions about the risk.

Find the nominal annual rate of interest compounded monthly if $1200 accumulates to $1618.62 in five years.
Answer:
The nominal annual interest rate is 6%
Explanation:
The future value of a sum of money an be calculated as follows,
FV = PV (1+i)^n
Where,
PV is present value i is the interest raten is the number of compounding periodsAs we already know the FV, the PV and the number of compounding periods, we can calculate the value of i. The value of i here represents the nominal annual interest rate denominated in monthly terms.
Annual interest rate denominated in monthly terms = Annual i / 12
As the total period in years is 5 years, the total period in monthly terms will be 5 * 12 = 60. So n is 60.
Plugging in the available values, we get the following expression which should be solved to get the monthly i.
1618.62 = 1200 * (1+i)^60
1618.62 / 1200 = (1+i)^60
1.34885 = (1+i)^60
Taking the 60th root of both sides.
(1.34885)^1/60 = (1+i)^60/60
1.004999998 = 1 + i
1.00499998 - 1 = i
i = 0.00499998 rounded off to 0.005 or 0.5%
If the annual interest rate denominated in monthly terms is is 0.005 or 0.5%, then the annual interest rate is,
Annual interest rate = 0.005 * 12 = 0.06 or 6%

Answer:
The correct answer is Option C (dramatic developments in information processing and other technologies)
Explanation:
Globalization caused by several factors, example are improved markets, transportation, policies and cultures, improved technology, can be explained as the process by which different parts of the world are connected due to the spread of ideas, people, technology, goods. Types of globalization are: Economic globalization, political globalization, and cultural globalization.
Factors underlying the trend toward greater globalization are micro level (individual) and macro level (society). Macro factors include, barriers to distribution of good and services among countries, and technological change, which is very important as it greatly affects globalization.
Dramatic developments in information processing and other technologies makes it easier to communicate and share information in order to conduct business internationally, and do other greater things too.
The common stock and debt of Northern Sludge are valued at $62 million and $38 million, respectively. Investors currently require a 16.8% return on the common stock and a/an 7.2% return on the debt. If Northern Sludge issues an additional $21 million of common stock and uses this money to retire debt, what happens to the expected return on the stock? Assume that the change in capital structure does not affect the interest rate on Northern’s debt and that there are no taxes.
Answer:
the expected return on the stock will decrease
Explanation:
total firm's value $100 million
equity $68 milliondebt $32 millionrequired rate of return:
cost of equity 16.8%cost of debt 7.2%if the firm issues new stock and retires debt:
equity $89 milliondebt $11 millionThe return on equity (ROE) measures how much money a company earns per dollar invested, ROE formula = net income / total equity
now let's suppose that the firm's net income is $10 million:
under the old capital structure ROE = $10 / $68 = 14.7%
now under the new capital structure net income will increase by the amount of interests saved = $21 x 7.2% = 1.512
new net income = $11.512
new ROE = $11.512 / $89 = 12.9%
following this example, the new ROE will be 12.2% lower than before because the cost of debt was much lower than the cost of equity.
as the weight of equity increases, the company's WACC will increase also:
old WACC = (68/100 x 16.8%) + (32/100 x 7.2%) = 11.424 + 2.304 = 13.728%old WACC = (89/100 x 16.8%) + (11/100 x 7.2%) = 14.952 + 0.792 = 15.744%2. The Fourth of July Company agreed to ship a quantity of fireworks to Behan. After Behan pays in full, he learns that state law prohibits this type of sale. Before the fireworks are sent, Behan calls to cancel this contract and to demand his money back. May he recover his money in court
Answer:
Behan will recover his amount.
Explanation:
The contract has not been formed as the contract is only enforceable if the contract is legally allowed which means that the selling of fireworks in this case scenario is not allowed and hence Behan and Fourth of July Company are both equally responsible for not committing to such type of agreements. So the company must payback the money as the contract is not enforceable in the jurisdiction.

g The sticky-wage theory of the short-run aggregate supply curve says that when the price level rises more than expected, a. production is more profitable and employment rises. b. production is more profitable and employment falls. c. production is less profitable and employment rises. d. production is less profitable and employment falls.
Answer:
A. Production is more profitable and employment rises
Explanation:
Wages are sticky if market prices or wages don’t adjust quickly to changes in the economy. When prices are sticky, the Short Run Aggregate Supply curve slopes upward. It slopes upward because at least one price is fixed. The curve shows that a higher price level leads to more output
Therefore when the price level rises more than expected, production is more profitable and employment rises.

On the grant date, January 1st, 2015, the stock was quoted on the stock exchange at $63 per share. The fair value of the options on the grant date was estimated at $15 per option. The amounts of compensation expense ABC should recognize with respect to the options during 2015, 2016, and 2017 are:
Answer:
2015 $31,500
2016 $31,500
2017 $31,500
Explanation:
Number of Options in total × Fair Value of the Stock per option
Where
Number of Options in total = 63
Fair Value of the Stock per option =15
Hence:
(63*100) ×$15
=$6,300 ×$15
= $ 94,500
Compensation expense will be:
2015, 2016, and 2017 will give us 3 years
= $94,500/3
= $31,500 for 2015, 2016, and 2017
Fair value of the options is said to be evaluated on grant date and expenditure is been recognised in 3 years because the employee will be working for 3 years which is from year 2015 to 2017
The standard deviation from investing in the asset is: (Round to the nearset hundredth percent. Answer in the percent format. Do not include % sign in your answer (i.e. If your answer is 4.33%, type 4.33 without a % sign at the end.))
Here is the complete question.
State of the Economy Probability of Percentage Returns
the States
Economic recession 25% 5%
Moderate economic growth 55% 10%
Strong economic growth 20% 13%
The standard deviation from investing in the asset is: (Round to the nearest hundredth percent. Answer in the percent format. Do not include % sign in your answer (i.e. If your answer is 4.33%, type 4.33 without a % sign at the end.))
Answer:
standard deviation from investing in the asset is: 2.76
Explanation:
From the information given above; the main task to do is to calculate for the standard deviation from investing in the asset ,but in order to do that; we must first determine the expected return value and the variance.
The expected return can either be the profit or loss the investor predict to get after investing on an instrument. It can be determined by multiplying the potential outcomes by the chances of them occurring and then totaling these results.
Here;
the potential outcome = Probability of the States
chances of them occurring = Percentage Returns
∴
Expected return = (0.25 × 5%) + (0.55 × 10%) + (0.20 × 13%)
Expected return = (1.25 + 5.5 + 2.6)%
Expected return = 9.35%
Variance = 0.25 × (5% - 9.35%)² + 0.55 × (10% - 9.35%)² + 0.20 × (13% - 9.35%)²
Variance = 0.25 ( -4.35%)² + 0.55 (0.3575%)² + 0.20 (3.65%)²
Variance = 0.0473 + 0.0023 + 0.0266
Variance = 0.0763
Finally; the standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{variance}[/tex]
standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt {0.0763[/tex]
standard deviation = 0.276
To the nearest hundredth percent and by answering in the percent format without including the % sign ; we have
standard deviation = 2.76

Alain Mire files a single tax return and has adjusted gross income of $309,000. His net investment income is $48,000. What is the additional tax that Alain will pay on his net investment income for the year
Answer: $1,824
Explanation:
According to the IRS, Net Investment Income tax is the lesser figure of either,
i. The net investment income or,
ii. Modified adjusted gross income less the threshold of $200,000 of the person.
The lesser figure is then multiplied by 3.8% to find the tax.
Alain Mire's net Investment Income is $48,000.
His Modified adjusted gross income less the threshold of $200,000 is,
= 309,000 - 200,000
= $109,000
The lesser figure is his Net Investment Income so Additional Tax is,
= 48,000 * 3.8%
= $1,824

If the market price of an orange increases from $0.80 to $1.05, then consumer surplus. Name First orange Second orange Third orange Allison $2 $1.5 $0.75 Bob $1.5 $1 $0.6 Charisse $0.75 $0.25 $0 Group of answer choices increases by $0.75 decreases by $0.95. decreases by $0.75 decreases by $1.00
Answer:
decreases by $0.95.
Explanation:
Here is the full question :
For each of three potential buyers of oranges, the table displays the willingness to pay for the first three oranges of the day. Assume Allison, Bob, and Charisse are the only three buyers of oranges, and only three oranges can be supplied per day.
First OrangeSecond OrangeThird OrangeAllison$2.00$1.50$0.75Bob$1.50$1.00$0.60Charisse$0.75$0.25$0
Refer to Table above. If the market price of an orange increases from $0.80 to $1.05, then consumer surplus
Group of answer choices increases by $0.75 decreases by $0.95. decreases by $0.75 decreases by $1.00
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Change in consumer surplus = $1.85 - $2.8 = $-0.95
Please check the attached images for an explanation on how the answer was derived.
I hope my answer helps you
Answer: decreases by $0.95.
Explanation:
Allison $2 $1.5 $0.75
Bob $1.5 $1 $0.6
Charisse $0.75 $0.25 $0
so consumer surplus = willingness to pay - market price
market price before = $0.80
consumer surplus before = Allison + Bob + Charisse
consumer surplus before = (1.2 + 0.7 + 0) + ( 0.7 + 0.2 + 0) + ( 0 + 0 + 0)
consumer surplus before = 2.8
market price after = $1.05
consumer surplus after = Allison + Bob + Charisse
consumer surplus after = (0.95 + 0.45 + 0) + ( 0.45 + 0 + 0) + ( 0 + 0 + 0)
consumer surplus after = 1.85
NOW
consumer surplus before - consumer surplus after
2.8 - 1.85 = 0.95
therefore consumer surplus decreases by $0.95

You are trying to get a group of students interested in forming an organization to help fight fee increases at your college. Unfortunately, things don’t seem to be going very well—nobody in your group volunteered to go to a meeting with your college president next week. You want to create a culture that is active and involved. What should you do? A. Make sure that you do what you want your team to do. If you want them to volunteer, you need to volunteer, too. B. Don't talk about taking action. Instead, get to know your team members better. C. Paint a verbal picture for your team of what life would be like if fees were reduced. D. Make sure that anyone on your team who volunteers to take action gets a reward - publicly recognize their efforts.
Answer:
The correct action is the option B: Don't talk about taking action. Instead, get to know your team members better.
Explanation:
To begin with, if the person is trying to create a group that is involved in the situation and works together then the best option to take at the beginning would be to get to know them better, so in that way the person would understand them and know what motivates each one the members in order to make them understand as well why would be benefitial for everybody to fight the fee increases and he can do that by explaining to everyone how those increases would impact in what motivates them the most. So that is why, is better to understand them and explain them later how to take action.

g (Ignore income taxes in this problem.) The management of Mashiah Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $305,000, would last for 6 years, and would have no salvage value. The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $105,000 per year. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 7% on all investment projects. Click here to view Exhibit 8B-1 and Exhibit 8B-2 to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables. The net present value of the proposed project is closest to:
Answer:
= $195,486.67
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-305,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 6 = $105,000
I = 7%
NPV = $195,486.67
To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

I hope my answer helps you
Jamal just inherited some money from a distant cousin overseas. He would like to put some of it in a bond and is looking at two choices. Bond A has five years to maturity, a semiannual coupon of 6% and a face value of $1,000. Bond B has ten years to maturity, an annual coupon of 4% and a face value of $1,000. Jamal knows that the rate expected in the marketplace for investments similar to these is 5%.
1. What is the present value of the coupon stream on each bond?
2. What is the present value of the face value on each bond?
3. What is the total value of each bond?
4. If Jamal sees the two bonds in the Wall Street Journal and they are both priced at 99, which bond should he buy?
Answer:
i. = $262.56 , = $308.87
ii. = $781.198 , = $613.91
iii. Bond A = $1,043.76 , Bond B = $922.78
Explanation:
(i) Present Value of Coupon Payment
Bond A :- Semiannual Coupon Amount = $1,000 * 6% * 6 / 12 = $30
Total Semiannual Period = 5 * 2 = 10
Semiannual Interest = 5% / 2 = 2.5%
Present Value of Coupon Payment = $30 * PVAF (2.5% , 10)
= $30 * 8.752
= $262.56
Bond B :- Annual Coupon Amount = $1,000 * 4% = $40
Annual Periods = 10
Annual Interest = 5%
Present Value of Coupon Payment = $40 * PVAF ( 5% , 10)
= $40 * 7.72
= $308.87
(ii) Present Value of Face Value of Bond
Bond A = $1,000 * PVF (2.5% , 10 periods)
= $1,000 * 0.7812
= $781.198
Bond B = $1,000 * PVF (5% , 10)
= $1,000 * 0.6139
= $613.91
(iii) Total Value of Each Bond
Bond A = $262.56 + $781.198 = $1,043.76
Bond B = $308.87 + $613.91 = $922.78
(iv)If Jamal sees the two bonds in the Wall Street Journal and they are both priced at 99, he should consider:
If the Bond Current Price is lower than Bond Fair Price then he should Buy the Bond
If the Bond Current Price is higher than Bond Fair Price then he should not buy the bond
Market Price of Bond = $99
He should buy Bond A But not Bond B
The Titan retires a $24.6 million bond issue when the carrying value of the bonds is $22.2 million, but the market value of the bonds is $28.3 million. The entry to record the retirement will include: Multiple Choice A credit to cash for $22.2 million. A credit of $6.1 million to a gain account. A debit of $6.1 million to a loss account. No gain or loss on retirement.
Answer:
A debit of $6.1 million to a loss account
Explanation:
The answer is A debit of $6.1 million to a loss account.
To calculate this:
the carrying value of the bonds $22.2 million is subtracted from the market value of the bonds $28.3 million.
Carrying value, $22.2 million, less cash paid to retire the bonds of $28.3 million
= $28.3 - $22.2
= $6.1 million to a loss account.
