Answer:

The delegation that focuses on ways to improve working conditions and produce a better product.

Explanation:

This is the case because just like any large company, the factory in Czech Republic would want to be under a management that prioritises on improving working conditions because it benefits them (the employees).

For example, with improved working conditions workers will be motivated leading to increase in their productivity and revenue of the firm.

Information about company revenue, taxes, profit, and fixed cost would be essential in order to decide whether to acquire the factory.

vovangra [49]

Answer:

The one-year liquidity index for these securities is 0.862

Explanation:

For computing the liquidity index, we have to use the formula which is shown below:

= (IBM stock face value ÷ total amount of face value) × (IBM current liquidation value ÷ IBM one year liquidation value) + (GE stock face value ÷ total amount of face value) × (GE current liquidation value ÷ GE one year liquidation value) + (Treasury securities stock face value ÷ total amount of face value) × (Treasury securities current liquidation value ÷ Treasury securities one year liquidation value)

where,

total amount of face value = IBM stock face value + GE stock face value + Treasury securities face value

= $15,000 + $6,000 + $20,000

= $41,000

Now put these values to the above formula

= ($15,000 ÷ $41,000) × ($14,900 ÷ $15,500) + ($6,000 ÷ $41,000) × ($3,000 ÷ $3,400) + ($20,000 ÷ $41,000) × ($15,000 ÷ $19,000)

= 0.365 × 0.961 + 0.146 × 0.882 + 0.487 × 0.789

= 0.350 + 0.128 + 0.384

= 0.862

Hence, the one-year liquidity index for these securities is 0.862
