Answer:

The correct answer is (A) Localization strategy

Explanation:

It is one of the most important strategic decisions that companies make. Localization can also influence other costs such as taxes, wages, raw materials and income. Companies make location decisions infrequently, usually because demand has exceeded the current capacity of the plant or due to changes in labor productivity, exchange rate, costs or local attitudes. Companies also relocate their manufacturing facilities or services due to demographic changes or consumer demand. Location alternatives include (1) expanding an existing installation instead of moving it; (2) maintain the current sites while opening facilities somewhere else, or (3) close existing facilities and move to a new location.

The location decision often depends on the type of business. For industrial location decisions, the usual strategy is to minimize costs, although innovation and creativity can also be critical. For retail organizations or professional services, the strategy focuses on maximizing revenue. However, the warehouse location strategy can be guided by a combination of costs and speed of delivery. The objective of the location strategy is to maximize the benefit of the location for the company.

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

A. the economy is producing at less than its potential output and has some cyclical unemployment.

Explanation:

Increase in government spending will increase domestic income, only if economy is producing at less than its potential output.

Increase in federal government spending raises the level of 'govt expenditure' in Aggregate Demand. This creates 'Excess Demand' (AD > AS). However, if the economy is at full employment level, i.e all the resources are already best efficiently utilised as per their production potential. Then, the economy can't increase its domestic income more than its full employment (full potential) level. So : Increase in government spending in full employment case, wont increase total production/ income/ employment further ; as the economy is already at full employment & can't increase economic activity beyond that.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Common Dividend paid in 2019 = $37,000

Explanation:

Given:

Number of shares = 6,000

Rate = 4% = 0.04

Share price = $100

Computation of per year Dividend

Dividend =  Number of shares × Share price × Rate

Dividend = 6,000 × $100 × 0.04 = $24,000 per year

Preferred dividend for 2 years = $24,000 × 2 = $48,000

Computation of Dividend paid in 2019:

Total Dividend paid = $85,000

Preferred dividend for 2 years = $24,000 × 2 = $48,000

Common Dividend paid in 2019 = $85,000 - $48,000

Common Dividend paid in 2019 = $37,000
