Answer:

(a) Strategy recommended for initial expansion

Target Markets

Market Entry

(b) Factors to consider when pursuing the expansion strategy

Brand Recognition

Cultural Understanding

Explanation:

There are two parts of this question. Therefore, they are written in details below as points (a) and (b)

<u>(a) Strategy recommended for initial expansion</u>

<u>Target Markets</u>

In order to proceed with any idea/plan at a strategic level, one must consider doing their homework. This means to understand the international customers, what do they buy, at what price is the goods preferred, which methods of shopping best suits them and so on.

<u>Market Entry</u>

Planning on how to enter the market is an important strategy in the plan for initial expansion. This could be achieved by acquiring another business and/or selling unique product/service.

(b) Factors to consider when pursuing the expansion strategy

<u>Brand Recognition</u>

One must question whether your brand is recognized in the market or not and at what level is it recognized. Awareness of brand existence have increased significantly with the help of social media. However, the same could be said about the number of brands available in the market for a single good/service. Therefore, research must be conducted before expanding into new territories.

<u>Cultural Understanding</u>

Culture is different in each country and based on which different market strategies needs to be implemented for each country. Let's say you approach a country where language of the country is not known to your existing employees. Therefore, you may need to train them first before working in the country and this could amount to a significant cost. It's best  to start expansion in those countries where you have better cultural understanding.

Jo is duly notified that her mortgage with Fund All Savings has been transferred to Big Loan Co. and that she should henceforth
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Option D; JO IS LIABLE TO BIG LOAN CO. SINCE SHE RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM THEM ABOUT THE ASSIGNMENT.

Explanation:

A mortgage is a loan provided by a mortgage lender or a bank that enables an individual to purchase a home.

Mortgage payments usually occur on a monthly basis and consist of four main parts: principal, interest, taxes and insurance.

A transfer of mortgage is the reassignment of an existing mortgage, usually on a home, from the current holder to another person or entity.

When mortgage is transferred, two notices will be sent: one from the current mortgage servicer and the other from the new servicer. All payments after the notification will be made to the new servicer.

Since Jo was notified about the reassignment from Fund All Savings to Big loan Co. but still continues to pay Fund All Savings and Big Loan Co. sues Jo for nonpayment. What is most likely to be the court's judgement is that JO IS LIABLE TO BIG LOAN Co. SINCE SHE RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM THEM ABOUT THE ASSIGNMENT.

II. State the facts of the company's financial situation.

III. Inform employees that they will receive a 15% pay cut.

IV. Close with forward looking statement.

The email should close with a forward looking statement and a statement that as soon as the situation of company gets better the employees will receive full salaries as always.

JTM Ltd incurs costs of $16 per unit ($12 variable, $4 fixed) for a widget it sells for $22. JTM has received two special offers
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

We must analyze the potential benefits of choosing one order or the other one:

Current JTM costs:

  • $12 variable per unit
  • $4 fixed per unit

If JTM accepts Firm A's order its fixed costs will not vary and it will be able to increase its profits by: ($17 - $12) x 10,000 = $50,000

Since JTM doesn't have the capacity to fulfill Firm B's order with their current cost structure, if it decides to take it, its variable or fixed costs (we don't know which) will probably increase, so its contribution margin will no longer be $5, as with Firm A's order, but will probably be lower. We are not told by how much the costs would increase.

The third alternative is to accept Firm B's offer and not sell 2,000 units through its normal distribution channels, but that would result in an increase in profits but also loss of normal profits:

($5 x 14,000 units) - ($6 x 2,000 units for the lost normal profits) = $70,000 -  $12,000 = $58,000. If JTM is able to cancel the sale of 2,000 units, then Firm B's offer would increase its profits by $58,000, $8,000 more than Firm A's order, but it depends on its ability to cancel or not the normal sales.
