Describe the current global strategy and provide evidence about how the firm’s resources and competencies support the pressures regarding costs and local responsiveness. Describe entry modes they have usually used, and whether the modes are appropriate for the given strategy is described below
Explanation:
Global Strategy’ is a shortened term that covers three areas: global, multinational and international strategies. Essentially, these three areas refer to those strategies designed to enable an organisation to achieve its objective of international expansion.
In developing ‘global strategy’, it is useful to distinguish between three forms of international expansion that arise from a company’s resources, capabilities and current international position.
Implications of the three definitions within global strategy:
International strategy: the organisation’s objectives relate primarily to the home market.
Multinational strategy: the organisation is involved in a number of markets beyond its home country. But it needs distinctive strategies for each of these markets because customer demand and, perhaps competition, are different in each country. Importantly, competitive advantage is determined separately for each country.
Global strategy: the organisation treats the world as largely one market and one source of supply with little local variation. Importantly, competitive advantage is developed largely on a global basis.
Answer:
d. the firm will lose $750
Explanation:
marginal cost is the derivate of the cost function: It represent the cost of producting an additional unit
cost: 750 + 5q
dC/dQ = 5
We have determinate that marginal cost is $5 thus, we should price at the same value. The mistake from the goverment is to equalize marginal cost with price instead of marginal revenue.
This will make the firm loss the fixed component of the cost as will sale to pay up the variable cost.
The fixed cost is $750 so that is the loss from operations
Answer:
D. Original cost.
Explanation:
As we know that the inventory should be valued at lower of cost or market value. Also , the market value is the middle amount among the replacement cost, net realizable value, net realizable value - normal profit margin
It can be the replacement cost or net realizable value. We don't have an idea which one is the middle amount
Also, if the original cost is less than the market cost so we assume that the inventory should be valued at original cost
Answer:
B. Step-up/Step-down CD
Explanation:
A bank certificate of deposit (CD) can be defined as a secured form of time-bound deposit and a special low-risk savings account, wherein money (lump-sum) are left with the bank for a specific period of time in exchange for an interest rate premium.
Generally, a certificate of deposit pays a higher interest rate to its holder than the regular savings account because the banks invest the money in a business.
Additionally, the bank certificate of deposit is protected and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $250,000.
A Step-up/Step-down certificate of deposit (CD) is a type of CD that changes the rate of interest for a deposit based on the prevailing market interest rate.
Answer:
product B
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
<u>Particulars Product A Product B Product C
</u>
Selling Price $5.00 $3.00 $5.00
Less: Variable cost per unit ($3.50) ($2.00) ($2.00)
Contribution per unit $1.50 $1.00 $3.00
Machine hours per unit 0.75 0.25 1
Contribution per machine hour $2.00 $4.00 $3.00
($1.50 ÷ 0.75) ($1.00 ÷ 0.25) ($3.00 ÷ 1)
The product B should be produced as it has the highest contribution per machine hour
