In an effort to reduce pipe breakage, water hammer, and product agitation, a French chemical company plans to install several ch

emically resistant pulsation dampeners. The cost of the dampeners today is €125,000, but the chemical company has to wait until a permit is approved for its bidirectional port-to-plant product pipeline. The permit approval process will take at least 2 years because of the time required for preparation of an environmental impact statement. Because of intense foreign competition, the manufacturer plans to increase the price only by the inflation rate of 4% each year. Determine the cost of the dampeners in 5 years in terms of (a) then-current euros and (b) constant-value euros?

Answer:

a)  €152081.6128

b)  €125000

Explanation:

a) The cost of dampners in terms of then-current euros :

current cost x(1 + inflation rate)ⁿ where n is the number of years.

Since the price of dampners is expected to increase only by 4% per year from the current price of €125,000 in 5 years:

We calculate : 125000 (1+0.04)⁵ = €152081.6128

The cost of dampeners in terms of then-current euros is €152081.6128

b) The cost of dampners in terms of constant value will remain as at today's current price if the value of Euros remains constant . Therefore, The cost of dampeners in terms of constant-value euros is €125,000.

Also this partners can be local companies with knowledge ofthe Chinese market.

Axiom will have limited liability until his contribution.

It will generate new jobs in the country and include local business persons, this will be politically acceptable

This option has everything Axiom is looking for.

<em>A.- if Axiom uses a subsidiary</em> it will not have access to local knowledge. Also it will be the same entity, so it won't be sharing the cost.

It won't be what the company need

It won't be what the company need

<em>E.- Licensing: </em>will be selling the brand name or product to a third party. It will not be part of the revenue stream entirely. A third party with knowledge of the market will exploit the benefit.

<em>D. Greenfield investments: </em>The company will establishes operations on the country. It will have a high cost, but will get the goverment approval for the jobs created in China. However it will be Axiom who takes the cost and risk for the entire investment.

These two are partially suitable, but with some backwards

Discuss why South Africa as a country has a scarcity of skilled workers, and how this can be changed more especially in terms of
FromTheMoon [43]

South Africa, as a country still experiences a scarcity of skilled workers.  This should not be, given the country's population size.

<h3>What is the scarcity of skilled workers?</h3>

The scarcity of skilled workers means that South African companies cannot attract the manpower they need to power the South African industry and economy.

However, this scarcity can become a thing of the past if many more South African companies can start investing in the education sector by giving out scholarships, grants, and endowing academic chairs in the universities.

This was how the economy of the United States was enabled to flourish until today.  South African companies can emulate their footsteps.

Thus, South Africa, given its enormous population, has no business experiencing a scarcity of skilled workers.

d) $13

Explanation:

contribution margin per unit:

  • product B = $45

  • product D = $25

contribution margin per machine hour:

  • product B = $45 / 2.5 = $18
  • product C = $39 / 3 = <u>$13</u>
  • product D = $25 / 1.25 = $20

the company should first produce 800 units of product D and use 1,000 machine hours. Then it should produce 680 units of product B using 1,700 machine hours. In order to produce the remaining 20 units of product B and the 600 units of product C, the company must rent machine hours and the maximum possible price per hour is $13 (contribution margin per machine hour product C).
