Answer:
The gross profit margin of Candy Company is 65% (second option)
Explanation:
The gross profit margin is defined as:
Mg = (sales - costs) / price of sales
If for Candy Company the cost are $112,000 and sales $320,000 then the gross profit margin is:

Mg = $208,000 * 100% / $320,000 = 0.65 * 100%
Mg = 0.65 * 100%
Mg = 65%

The answer is: B) It is a type of globalization that lies between total isolation and total globalization.
Explanation:
Semi-globalization is a term that tries to explain how the world is becoming one single market (globalization) but at the same time barriers still exist and are very significant in different markets.
A few years ago this term was used to describe situations that arouse in emerging markets, where governments were trying to protect internal markets while trying to export their goods to developed countries.

Answer:
$8,120
Explanation:
<em>To calculate the proceeds, the gross proceed less the discount charged by the bank. The gross proceed is the total amount that would have been received should the note is held to maturity.</em>
Gross proceed= P + (P×R×T)
P- 8,000 R- 6%, T- 10/12
Gross proceed = (8,000 + 8,000× 6%× 10/12)
= $8,400
Discount charges = Gross proceed × discount rate × time to maturity
Time to maturity = 10 - 5 = 5 months
Discount rate - 8%, Time- 5/12
Discount charges = 8400× 5/12× 8% = $280
Proceeds to be received = $8,400 - $280
= $8,120
