Answer:

The profit is $12,500

Explanation:

The profit on the contract can be computed using the formula below:

profit/loss on the contract=(forward price-spot rate)*volume of currency sold

forward price is 1 euro to $1.20

spot price     1 euro to  $1.10

volume of currency sold is Euros 125,000

profit/loss on the contract=($1.20-$1.10)*125,000

                                             =$12,500

Invariably the trader sold each US dollar $0.10 more than the spot rate ($1.20-$1.10),when that is multiplied the volume of Euros sold,it gives $12,500 in profit.

This implies that the buyer could have bought the currency cheaper on contract date

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by pr
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.

On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.

The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.

There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.

If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Fragmented Retail system

Explanation:

A fragmented retail system can be defined as a market in which no firm can has or can exert any influence to move the market in a particular direction.

This simply means that a fragmented retail system is one in which no product or firm has a grip or major share in the market. This leaves the market to a lot of small and medium scaled businesses competing with larger companies.

From the question, it can be seen that there a lots of small stores that serves the neighborhood. This means that the small shops cater for the needs of people within its vicinity such that there isn't any need for visiting larger stores.

Cheers
