Answer:

D. The growth of Mini - Multinationals

Explanation:

Mini-multinationals are companies or organisations that carry out their business in two or more countries but are still within the definition of small and medium sized organisations.

Initially before the advent of the computer and the accelerated advancement of globalisation only standardized multinationals based on large firms and corporations were able to carry out business across several countries. However, globalisation as well as the rapid advancement of information technology has made tools of business available such that even small or medium sized firms can become multinationals.

For instance, the availability of an e-market and fast delivery methods makes it possible for a local shoe seller to transact businesses across two or more countries. This is defined as a mini-multinational

Answer:

Letter A is correct.<u> </u><em><u>Unsystematic</u></em><em> </em>risk.

Explanation:

Unlike systematic risk, which is an inherent market risk, unsystematic risk is inherent in a specific sector or company.

The case in point concerns the investment of former AlphaEnergy employees, which is a unsystematic risk, as the investment risk in single-company shares includes regulatory changes, management changes, loss of market due to competition and withdrawal of the product from the market.

To reduce this type of risk, investors should seek diversification in their stock portfolio.

Jefferson Company has sales of $302,000 and cost of goods available for sale of $270,200. If the gross profit ratio is typically

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Ending inventory is $58,800

Explanation:

The formula for the gross profit ratio is as under:

Gross profit ratio = Gross Profit / Sales

And here Sales is $302,000 and Gross profit ratio is 30%.

By putting values we have:

30% = Gross profit / $302,000

Gross Profit = 30% * $302,000 = $90,600

We also know that:

Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of sales

By putting values we have:

$90,600 = $302,000 - Cost of sales

Cost of Sales = $302,000 - 90,600

Cost of Sales = $211,400

The difference between the cost of goods available for sale and cost of goods sold is ending inventory.

Ending Inventory = $270,200 - $211,400 = $58,800

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The current price = $\dfrac{Dividend(D_o) \times (1+ Growth \ rate) }{\text{Cost of capital -Growth rate}}$

$15 = \dfrac{0.50 \times (1+ Growth rate)}{8\%-Growth rate}$

$15 \times (8 -Growth \ rate) = 0.50 +(0.50 \times growth \ rate)$

$1.20 - (15 \times Growth \ rate) = 0.50 + (0.50 \times growth \ rate)$

$0.70 = (15 \times growth \ rate) \\ \\ Growth \ rate = \dfrac{0.70}{15.50} \\ \\ Growth \ rate = 0.04516 \\ \\ Growth \ rate \simeq 4.52\% \\ \\$

2. The value of the stock

Calculate the earnings at the end of 5 years:

$Earnings (E_o) \times Dividend \ payout \ ratio = Dividend (D_o) \\ \\ Earnings (E_o) \times 35\% = \$0.50 \\ \\ Earnings (E_o) =\dfrac{\$0.50}{35\%} \\ \\ = \$1.42857$

$Earnings (E_5) year \ 5 = Earnings (E_o) \times (1 + Growth \ rate)^{no \ of \ years} \\ \\ Earnings (E_5) year \ 5 = \$1.42857 \times (1 + 12\%)^5 \\ \\ Earnings (E_5) year \ 5 = \$2.51763$

Terminal value year 5 = $\dfrac{Earnings (E_5) \times (1+ Growth \ rate)}{Interest \ rate - Growth \ rate}$

$=\dfrac{\$2.51763\times (1+0.04516)}{8\%-0.04516}$

=$75.526

Discount all potential future cash flows as follows to determine the stock's value:

$\text{Value of stock today} =\bigg( \sum \limits ^{\text{no of years}}_{year =1} \dfrac{Dividend (D_o) \times 1 +Growth rate ) ^{\text{no of years}}}{(1+ interest rate )^{no\ of\ years} }$

$+ \dfrac{Terminal\ Value }{(1+interest \ rate )^{no \ of \ years}} \Bigg)$

$\implies \bigg(\dfrac{\$0.50\times (1 + 12\%)^1) }{(1+ 8\%)^{1} }+ \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^2 }{(1+8\% )^{2}}+ \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^3 }{(1+8\% )^{3}} + \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^4 }{(1+8\% )^{4}} + \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^5 }{(1+8\% )^{5}} + \dfrac{\$75.526}{(1+8\% )^{5}} \bigg )$

$\implies \bigg(\dfrac{\$0.5600}{1.0800}+\dfrac{\$0.62720}{1.16640}+\dfrac{\$0.70246}{1.2597}+\dfrac{\$0.78676}{1.3605}+\dfrac{\$0.88117}{1.4693}+ \dfrac{\$75.526}{1.4693} \bigg)$

=$ 54.1945

As a result, the analysts value the stock at $54.20, which is below their own estimates.

3. The value of the stock

Calculate the earnings at the end of 5 years:

$Earnings (E_o) \times Dividend payout ratio = Dividend (D_o) \\ \\ Earnings (E_o) \times 35\% = \$0.50 \\ \\ Earnings (E_o) =\dfrac{\$0.50}{35\%}\\ \\ = \$1.42857$

$Earnings (E_5) year \ 5 = Earnings (E_o) \times (1 + Growth \ rate)^{no \ of \ years} \\ \\ Earnings (E_5) year \ 5 = \$1.42857 \times (1 + 12\%)^5 \\ \\ Earnings (E_5) year \ 5 = \$2.51763 \\ \\$

Terminal value year 5 = $\dfrac{Earnings (E_5) \times (1+ Growth \ rate)\times dividend \ payout \ ratio}{Interest \ rate - Growth \ rate}$

$=\dfrac{\$2.51763\times (1+ 7 \%) \times 20\%}{8\%-7\%}$

=$53.8773

Discount all potential cash flows as follows to determine the stock's value:

$\text{Value of stock today} =\bigg( \sum \limits ^{\text{no of years}}_{year =1} \dfrac{Dividend (D_o) \times 1 + Growth rate ) ^{\text{no of years}}}{(1+ interest rate )^{no \ of\ years} }+ \dfrac{Terminal \ Value }{(1+interest \ rate )^{no \ of \ years }} \bigg)$

$\implies \bigg( \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1 + 12\%)^1) }{(1+ 8\%)^{1} }+ \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^2 }{(1+8\% )^{2}}+ \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^3 }{(1+8\% )^{3}} + \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^4 }{(1+8\% )^{4}} + \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^5 }{(1+8\% )^{5}} + \dfrac{\$53.8773}{(1+8\% )^{5}} \bigg)$

$\implies \bigg (\dfrac{\$0.5600}{1.0800}+\dfrac{\$0.62720}{1.16640}+\dfrac{\$0.70246}{1.2597}+\dfrac{\$0.78676}{1.3605}+\dfrac{\$0.88117}{1.4693}+ \dfrac{\$53.8773}{1.4693} \bigg)$

=$39.460

As a result, the price is $39.460, and the other strategy would raise the value of the shareholders. Not this one, since paying a 100% dividend would result in a price of $54.20, which is higher than the current price.

Notice that the third question depicts the situation after 5 years, but the final decision will be the same since we are discounting in current terms. If compounding is used, the future value over 5 years is just the same as the first choice, which is the better option.

The presumption in the second portion is that after 5 years, the steady growth rate would be the same as measured in the first part (1).

Crazy boy [7]

All of the following ways that consumer behavior is influenced by laws that are passed by federal, state, and municipal governments, with the exception of, providing incentives to purchase specific brands over others.

<h3>What are the many governmental levels?</h3>

The federal government, state governments, and municipal governments are the three tiers of governance in the United States.

The U.S. Constitution grants Congress, the President, and the Federal courts, respectively, the authority to act as the legislative, executive, and judicial departments of the federal government. Three branches make up the federal government, which is the main and highest level of government in the US.

The first tier or level of democratic government is the Panchayati Raj system. Since the members of the Gram Sabha chose the Panch and the Gram Panchayat, they are accountable to the Gram Sabha.
