Answer and Explanation:
Arguments for U.S. Company offshoring:
1. Cost savings:
Companies usually offshore manufacturing or services to developing countries where wages are low, thus resulting in cost savings. These savings are passed on to the customers, shareholders and managers of these companies.
2. Skills:
The competitive advantage of nations often means that some countries or regions develop a much better ecosystem for certain types of industries. This means there is better availability of skilled human resources in that region for specific types of tasks. For example, India and the Philippines have a large pool of English-speaking, college educated youth; as well as a mature training infrastructure; that makes it ideal for business process outsourcing. Therefore, many companies choose to offshore certain business functions (e.g. call centers for customer support) to these locations.
Arguments for U.S. Company offshoring:
1. Quality Control:
While companies can set quality standards for work performed by foreign employees, language and cultural barriers, as well as overseas supply chains, can present barriers to quality control. Products made overseas can be flawed because of out-of-date or worn equipment in overseas factories, or substandard raw materials. In 2000, for example, Masterlock had to recall more than 750,000 locks made in China. Worn dies at the Chinese factory produced locks that could be pulled apart without a key.
2. Public Image:
In times of high unemployment in the United States, sending jobs out of the country can hurt a company’s public image. Fewer regulations in other countries can make it less expensive for American factories to operate, but environmental damage and labor abuses that make the news can tarnish the image of companies involved there. Consumers have organized boycotts against companies that use child labor or sweatshops to produce clothing and shoes. In response, companies such as Nike, Dell and Gap have established codes of conduct for their suppliers.
The answer could be any of these. This is not a fair question.
I believe that question is trying to get you to lean towards answer C because theoretically your family would know your character better than a bank might.
Answer:
A) $0, no cash paid in 2016, both interest and principal were paid on March 31, 2017.
B) = [($90,000 x 8%) / 12] x 3 months = ($7,200 / 12) x 3 = $600 x 3 = $1,800
C) = $90,000 + $1,800 = $91,800
D) = ($600 x 6 months) + $90,000 = $3,600 + $90,000 = $93,600
E) = $600 x 3 months = $1,800
