Answer:
Option D. Entry into the European market by Home Depot.
Explanation:
The reason is that the strategic actions are long term actions and are market based moves which bounds the organizational resources for implementation and are also very difficult to reverse.
So here use of coupons, fare increases and two for one offers are easily reversible, requires fewer organizations resources for implementation and short term decisions which means these are tactical actions.
Whereas the decision to enter european market by Home Depot is long term decision, bounds organization resources for implementation and is very difficult to implement or reverse the actions once taken, so it is strategical action of Home Depot.
Answer and Explanation:
core competency of an organization comprise it's multiple resource, capabilities and skills that gives it a competitive advantage in the market. It was originated in management theory by C. K. Prahalad and Gary Hamel.
For an organization to have core competencies in manufacturing and also research and development putting it's organizational structure and culture to use, it has to:
create a flexible and somewhat independent structure for it's research and development department such that innovation is easy. Control must be decentralized and the team must come first
For the manufacturing department, an organic and participative approach should be encouraged. This would allow inclusive management such that workers are included in decision making processes. Managers should also be given more independence while workers should increasingly be empowered
the organization should also take stringent measures in employing the right people for the research and development as well as the manufacturing department such that these individuals are qualified and possess the needed expertise for their areas. Staff should equally be empowered through constant education and new skill acquisitions and be allowed to impart this knowledge on other staff by encouraging transfers in global expansion.

Answer:
e. $6,042
Explanation:
Net income of Bad tattoo co. = Addition of retained earnings + Dividends
= $4,780 + $2,980
= $7,760
Income before tax of Bad tattoo Co = Net income / (1-tax rate)
= $7,760 / (1-34%)
= $7,760 / 0.66
= $11,758
But,
Income before tax = Sales - Costs
- Depreciation expense - Interest expense
$11,758 = $95,560 - $75,720 - Depreciation expense - $2,040
$11,758 = $19,840 - Depreciation expense - $2,040
Depreciation expense = $19,840 - $11,758 - $2,040
Depreciation expense = $6,042
Answer:
coupon rate= 13.5%
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of periods= 5*2= 10 semesters
Par value= $1,000
YTM= 0.1/2 = 0.05
Price bond= $1,136
<u>To calculate the coupon rate, first, we need to determine the coupon per semester using the following formula:</u>
Bond Price= coupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
1,136 = coupon*{[1 - (1.05^-10)] / 0.05} + [1,000/(1.05^10)]
1,136 = coupon*7.722 + 613.91
522.09 = coupon*7.722
$67.61=coupon
<u>Now, the coupon rate:</u>
Coupon= par value*(coupon rate/2)
67.61= 1,000*(coupon rate/2)
67.61= 500coupon rate
0.135=coupon rate
coupon rate= 13.5%
