Studying international business is important because the best way of conducting business is usually the same from country to cou

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Conducting business is usually NOT the same from country to country because:

1. DIFFERENCE IN BUSINESS ETHICS: Business ethics vary from nation to nation. European countries work from 8 am to 5 pm on a typical work day and rest on Saturdays and Sundays; but in the middle East, people do not work on Fridays but work on Sundays. They also take a lot of business time off for routine prayers during normal work hours.

2. NEED FOR TRANSLATORS: Differences of language does increase the cost of carrying out business activities in other nations. Take India and China for example; You cannot conclude that business deals will be carried out without hiring a translator who understands Hindi or Mandarin.

3. LOCAL LAWS AND CUSTOMS: The UK customs and laws require that cars be driven on the left hand side of the road but that is not the same in most other countries of the world, hence a U.S car manufacturer must be aware of the costs of redesign if he has to sell cars in the U.K.

Your younger sister, Linda, will start college in five years. She has just informed your parents that she wants to go to Hampton

Elden [556K]

Answer:

The answer $6,964.4726324 per year

Explanation: The following elements are to be considered in this case:

- The total amount required for Linda's education is $132,000 ($33,000*4)

-Parents had already started investing $5,300 per year for the past five years. This is a stream of even cash flows, at an interest rate. Considering we are at the point before our parents decided to invest the $5,300 and we want to determine the future value of this fixed payments, we will consider the formula below:

Future Value FV = Cash flow per period C * ([1 + i]^n - 1 )/i where i is the interest rate and n the number of times or periods

FV= $5,300 * ([1 + 0.11]^5 - 1 )/0.11

FV= $5,300 * 6.22780141

FV= $33,007.347473

Considering they will continue to save $5,300 for five more years, we can adjust the above formula and obtain the future value of the fixed payment of $5,300 over a period of 10 years

FV= $5,300 * ([1 + 0.11]^10 - 1 )/0.11

FV= $5,300 * 16.722008965

FV= $88,626.647515

This implies our parents will have the above amount when Linda is to start college and will require an additional $43,373.35248 ($132,000 - $88,626.647515 ) to have the entire fees at hand.

Now, we have to determine how much should be saved every year for the next five years (when Linda starts school) in order to obtain the amount left to complete Linda's fees.

Considering the formula above, it should be noted that we alraedy know the future value, the interest and the number of years involved. So to get the cash flow or amount to be saved per period,

- Cash Flow per period C = Future value FV/ ([1 + i]^n - 1 )/i

C = $43,373.35248 / ([1 + 0.11]^5 - 1 )/0.11

C = $43.373.35248 / 6.22780141

C = $6,964.4726324

Thus, in addition to the $5,300 currently being saved by our parents, they will have to save an additional $6,964.4726324 per year so as to obtain the total amount for Linda fees of $132,000 which will be divided into $33,000 per year.
