Answer:
a. 50%
Explanation:
In this scenario, BrainTrust Company produces and sells educational toys for children. In pricing its product, the company needs to make sure it properly estimates its costs. The company can safely estimate that transportation is 50% of total distribution cost.
In supply chain management, the total distribution cost can be defined as the overall expenses incurred by a manufacturer in the process of delivering finished goods and services from the production stage to the final consumer. The total distribution cost can either be direct or indirect expenses incurred on insurance, handling, storage, shipping, packing and logistics.
<em>Generally, the total amount spent on the movement of goods and services from one location to another, usually accounts for half (50%) of the overall expenses incurred in total distribution cost. </em>
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": Decreasing your stocks and increasing your bonds.
Explanation:
Target-date funds are pools of assets employees with a 401(k) retirement account can access. <em>Target-date funds consider stocks as riskier assets than bonds</em>, thus, more stocks than bonds are included in the fund of the employee at first. However, <em>as soon as the date when the employee is to retire approaches, the fund automatically lowers the number of stocks in the employee's account to include more bonds</em>, which are safer securities.

Whenever a company wants to go international it has a lot work to do before creating an international division. Several things must be done before, mostly research, for example:
- Research if your product is know overseas, is there any possible market for it, are there any restraints for your products in those new markets.
- Any legal constraint or logistical problem you have to consider.
- Any local competition you have to worry about.
- Does your product fit in a new culture.
- And very many etceteras.
That should all be done before considering spending money on creating an international division.
Probably when the internet didn´t exist, communications were scarce, no Tv existed, people in one country didn´t know anything about other cultures, etc., a comp nay would have first created an international division to scout foreign markets but right now it doesn´t make sense.
