Explanation:
Market Research
Explanation:
In a global business, <u>The firm often goes into uncharted territories for themselves and takes heavy risks in places unknown to them.</u> In such a situation market research done right is the best thing a firm can hope for apart from all other things.
A market not suitable for their products will simply not be beneficial no matter how everything else works out.
For example,<u> McDonald's setting up operations in India made its menu suit the Indian taste pallet and was able to carve out a market share</u> while other food chains were not as quick to do it.
Answer:
When using dollar-value LIFO, the ending inventory at current year cost must first be converted to base year cost. The 12/31/Y2 inventory at base year cost is given as $60,000. Since the 12/31/Y1 inventory at base year cost was $45,000 ($40,000 base layer and $5,000 year 1 layer), a new layer of $15,000 was added in year 2 ($60,000 − $45,000). This layer must be restated using the year 2 price index. The year 2 price index is computed using the double-extension technique, as illustrated below.
Answer:
β of the stock = 1
Explanation:
Given:
α of a stock = 0%
Return on the market index = 16%
Risk-free rate of return = 5%
Required rate = 11% + 5% = 16%
β of the stock = ?
Computation of β of the stock:
Required rate = Risk-free rate of return + [β (Return on the market index - Risk-free rate of return)]
16% = 5% + [β (16% - 5%)]
16% - 5% = β (16% - 5%)
11% = [β (16% - 5%)
11% = [β (11%)
β of the stock = 1
Answer:
$8,125,000
Explanation:
Break-even point is the level of sales on which business has no profit no loss situation. The business only covers the variable and fixed cost at this point.
Total Contribution ratio = (65% x 30%) + (35% x 50%) = 19.5% + 17.5% = 37%
Fixed cost = $4,625,000
Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio = $4,625,000 / 37% = $12,500,000
Break-even Sales for Sports Division = $12,500,000 x 65% = $8,125,000
