If we could accurately forecast interest rates, financing decisions would be easy. Although it's difficult to predict future int

erest rate levels, it is easy to predict that interest rates will fluctuate. Therefore, sound financial policy calls for using a mix of long- and short-term debt as well as equity to position the firm so that it can survive in any interest rate environment.
The firm's optimal financial policy depends on the nature of the firm's assets—the easier its assets can be sold, the more feasible it is for the firm to use ____ -term debt.

Consequently, it is logical for a firm to finance current assets with ___ -term debt and to finance fixed assets with ___ -term debt.

Answer:

the Correct Answers are:

1.  Short Term Debt

2. Short Term Debt

3. Long Term Debt            

Explanation:

Businesses manage a variety of current assets. Permanent current assets are needed for the firm to maintain its business, and they will be carried even through downturns in business cycles. Temporary current assets fluctuate seasonally or with business cycles. Each organisation must devise an optimal financing strategy that best fits its business situation and best manages its risk

It is thus logical to ensure that:

  • All fixed assets and the nonseasonal portion of current assets, as well as seasonal needs of current assets, are best financed with long-term capital.
  • While seasonal needs of current assets are financed with short term loans.

Multinational enterprises (MNEs) have an impact far beyond their firm boundaries. Assume you are working for a small firm that s
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Multinational enterprises (MNEs)

Relationship Change as the MNE moves from Globalization 2.0 to Globalization 3.0 operations:

This move means that Indian and Chinese companies would be competing with my local small firm.  The MNE may be looking for cheaper prices for my company's products and services, which the Indian and Chinese companies would more efficiently supply it.  My firm may be on the precipice of liquidating if this MNE is our major customer.  My firm must move fast to become more competitive by differentiating our products and services with better quality and perhaps reduced production costs, to enable it compete more favorably with the Indian and Chinese competitors.  Otherwise, we may regard the relationship as nearing its end and prepare for other opportunities with other companies.

Explanation:

Globalization reduces national boundaries by integrating national economies into a globalized economy, thus enabling companies to compete globally for financial resources, goods, and services.  When Globalization 1.0 happened, countries were globalized and the world became a global village.  When Globalization 2.0 from which the G7 profited largely, companies were globalized.  With the current Globalization 3.0, individuals are being globalized, and the highest beneficiaries are Indian and Chinese nationals who appear better prepared to take on the world, garner most of the important resources to themselves, and call the shots from the boardrooms.  An example is Microsoft's current CEO, Satya Nadella, who is an Indian-American.

devlian [24]

Answer:

a. Increased wealth due to lower prices and greater product diversity b. Ability to use productive resources found only in other countries.

Explanation:

A: Benefits of International trade for households, is an increase in wealth as a consequence of the drop in prices of goods that are imported (because these products are produced efficiently abroad), and a potential drop in prices of local goods because productive factors could potentially be more efficiently allocated increasing the productivitiy of such factors. Households also benefit because a higher diversity of products could expand their utility curve by richer consumption alternatives. B: Benefits of international trade for firms is an expansion of the disposable resources available to produce local goods, which could increase the productivity per productive factor by relatively lower prices of resources and higher quantities.

The geometric average return answers the question What was your return in an average year over a particular period?
Andreyy89

Answer: A. What was your average compounded return per year over a particular period?

Explanation:

Geometric return is calculated by the formula;

= [(1 + r1) * (1 + r2) * (1 + r3) *.... (1 + rn)] ^1/n

This allows for one to calculate the compounding effect over a period of time by showing the compounded annual growth rate which means that it tells what the average compounded return was per year in a particular period.
