Darya [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Cattle ranchers were not very common during the early nineteenth century, most of them were actually Mexicans who ended up being thrown out of Texas after it became independent. They left their cattle behind and Texans claimed them for themselves. During the first part of the century beef wasn't very popular so the cattle was raised for its skin and tallow.

But then the civil war started and after the south lost, cattle had multiplied to over 5 million in Texas alone. There was really no market for beef in the southern states, but there was a huge market in the northern-eastern states.

Cattle trade began from Texas to Chicago and it generated a lot of money specially for the middlemen (Joseph McCoy was the most important one). The cattle was sent to Chicago using the railroads and the industry peaked by 1867. The factors that helped the beef industry were that more railroads were built, more land was available (native Americans were ejected from their lands) and refrigeration techniques improved.

But during the last years of the century the cattle industry collapsed (since middle 1880s) due to lower demand, a severe drought and more farmers settling in areas that previously had been used by cattle only. Since the cattle business became less profitable, farmers started to turn to agriculture instead of ranching.

QveST [7]

Known as <u>compliance-based ethic codes</u> these ethical standards emphasize preventing unlawful behaviour by increasing control and by penalizing wrongdoers.

Compliance-based ethical codes are those that outline moral requirements with an emphasis on preventing unethical activity by tightening regulations and punishing offenders. Integrity-based ethical codes are those that specify an organization's guiding principles and foster a culture that encourages moral behavior. A compliance-based code of ethics is created to ensure that the company and its personnel abide by all rules and regulations properly. The prevention, detection, and punishment of non-compliant conduct are three important components. For instance, Jeremy's compliance-based code might forbid his employees from materially misrepresenting the truth when acting in the course of their job.

Kendall Company has sales of 1,000 units at $60 a unit. Variable expenses are 30% of the selling price. If total fixed expenses
Lelu [443]

Answer:

There are several ways to compute the degree of operating leverage (DOL). A fairly intuitive approach is expressed below.

DOL = (sales - variable costs) / (sales - variable costs - fixed costs)

For Kendall, the DOL is computed as follows:

DOL = (1,000 * $60 - 1,000 * $60 * .30) / (1,000 * $60 - 1,000 * $60 * .30 - $30,000) = 3.5

What are some of the primary reasons a company decides to expand internationally? Identify a company in the news that has recent
nignag [31]

Answer:

Primary reasons a company would decide to expand internationally are as follows:  

  • Expanding markets and increasing sales are one of the primary reasons.
  • Companies get globalized in order to become a market leader.
  • The company may choose to enter into international market in order to diversify a company's product line.
  • Markets and investments would be protected by companies once they enter into international market and get engaged in an international business.
  • Controlling the expenses is again one of the most important reasons. Company would buy the resources to gain cost advantage.
  • For example, the company which is located in Canada gets most of their resources from China; the company would look forward to get situated near China.
  • Another reason would be, to get protected from their competitors or to gain advantage over them; the company would decide to expand internationally.

The three motivational factors that induce a company to go global are as follows:

  • Economies of Scale — The advantage that a company gain through mass production to achieve the lowest possible production cost per unit.
  • Economies of scope — The advantage that a firm gains by producing different varieties of products and services and at different regions.
  • Low-Cost Production Factors — It is an opportunity to purchase the resources at the lower possible cost.

Jaguar Land Rover decided to manufacture cars outside the UK for the first time. In recent years, it has rapidly expanded in its home UK and the company is planning to go to Brazil and implement the strategies that they had implemented in India.

Jaguar Land Rover moves to other countries to gain the opportunity of producing at a lower price and to gain economies of scale.
