What are the major benefits to IKEA of shifting so much of its global production to China? concentration of manufacturing assets

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The question is incomplete. Here is the full question:

a) What are the benefits to IKEA of shifting so much of its global production to China?

b) What are the risks associated with a heavy concentration of manufacturing assets in China?

c) What strategies might IKEA adopt to maximize the benefits and mitigate the risks associated with moving so much product?

a) As in many industries and among numerous companies, production in China has been a lucrative production model. The labor cost is extremely low, making labor a critical factor. Also, raw materials are widely accessible in China, thus high import taxes are eschewed.

Meanwhile, the labor has adequate education and the country is technologically progressive.

b) Risks are mainly associated with occasionally unstable political and economic factors, such as political turmoil and the rise of economic barriers.

Also, highly concentrated production location-wise is never the optimal option, as the mentioned factors can become critical for the whole supply chain in that case.

c) It would be wise to diversify production and disperse the production focal point - China. Thus, IKEA should consider new facility locations, such as most countries in the Southeast Asia region, which offer similar labor benefits.

If IKEA chooses to continue concentrated production in China, they could invest into logistics and transport, in order to create a robust supply chain.

According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), correctly priced securities:

miskamm [114]

Answer:

A) have zero alphas

Explanation:

Stock's alpha show show much they have over or under performed in relation to similar peer stocks. But if the stocks were correctly priced, then alpha should be 0 since no variation, either positive or negative should occur. Alpha basically measures the error in the stock's valuation. It is always better to have positive alphas because if you make a mistake then hopefully is in your favor, but alphas can also be negative and that equals unexpected losses.

This is why the CAPM model only considers beta in its calculation.

Financial Planning Partners Inc., employs 12 full-time CPAs and 10 paraprofessionals. Direct and indirect costs are applied on a

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

At the year end the accounting records will show that the indirect cost are over allocated.

Explanation:

First of all let us see what information has been given to us in the question,

Budget Actual

INDIRECT COST $3,00,000 $309,000

LABOR HOUR 50,000 dlh 56,000 dlh

For us the salary of both attorney and paraprofessional is not of use to calculate the indirect cost for the year end.

So first step here would be to calculate the cost per hour of each professional, which can be taken out by using the formula

\frac{BUDGETED INDIRECT COST}{TOTAL BUDGETED WORKING LABOR HOUR}

\frac{\$3,00,000}{50,000} = \$6

so the cost per hour for each professional is $6,

next step is to multiply the cost per hour by the actual labor working hours ,

$6 x 56,000 = $3,36,00

but we the budget given in the question is $3,00,000 and the indirect cost that we have calculated is $3,36,000, so from this observation we can say that the indirect cost at the end of the accounting records would be over allocated.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The production possibilities curve would have shifted inwards.

Explanation:

A production possibility curve shows the maximum possible bundles of two goods that can be produced in an economy in a given period. A reduction in the availability of resources causes this curve to shift to the left.

The outbreak of bubonic plague in the 14th century caused the European population to decrease by 30-60%. A decrease in the population implies a decrease in the labor force. This means that the economies will be able to produce less than earlier.

This will cause the production possibilities curve to shift inwards to the left.
