Answer:
It can be a smart strategy if the country has a significant amount of soft power (power not on military or economic terms, but on cultural and social terms).
Explanation:
For example, Sweden is a country that enjoys a high level of prestige around the world, because it is a very well developed country, with a very high standard of living, an economic model that many people admire (the Nordic Model), and several cultural exports like Volvo cars, or ABBA, that enjoy popularity around the world.
IKEA, in that sense, is like another Swedish cultural export, and when people go to an IKEA, they go expecting to find something "Swedish", so in this sense, the strategy can clearly pay off because of the soft power that Sweden has.
Answer: $2,033.46
Explanation:
Social security taxes = 8,388 * 6.2% = $520.06
Medicare taxes = 8,388 * 1.45% = $121.63
Federal income tax withheld = $1,391.77
FUTA and SUTA are to be paid by the employer not the employee.
The total amount of taxes withheld from Portia is therefore:
= 520.06 + 121.63 + 1,391.77
= $2,033.46

Answer:
The gross profit method of inventory valuation is not valid when
c. the gross margin percentage changes significantly during the year.
Explanation:
Gross Profit Method:
It is such method that is used to determine the value of ending inventory in a specific period.
- The option a, b and d are valid as this method is used when there is substantial increase in the quantity of inventory or in the cost of the inventory during the year. Moreover, it is also used to calculate the amount of ending inventory that is effected by a disaster such as fire, theft etc.
- The option c is not valid because it is not used when the gross margin percentage changes significantly during the year as gross profit method is only used to determine the amount of an ending inventory.
