Would the management of a firm in an oligopolistic or in a competitive industry be more likely to engage in what might be called

""socially conscious"" practices?

Answer: Companies in perfect competition do not usually apply "socially conscious" practices because their cost-benefit relationship does not justify it.

Generally, the administration of an oligopolistic company will carry out "socially conscious" practices, because this differentiation between the other companies would lead to higher than normal profits.

Multinational enterprises (MNEs) have an impact far beyond their firm boundaries. Assume you are working for a small firm that s
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Multinational enterprises (MNEs)

Relationship Change as the MNE moves from Globalization 2.0 to Globalization 3.0 operations:

This move means that Indian and Chinese companies would be competing with my local small firm.  The MNE may be looking for cheaper prices for my company's products and services, which the Indian and Chinese companies would more efficiently supply it.  My firm may be on the precipice of liquidating if this MNE is our major customer.  My firm must move fast to become more competitive by differentiating our products and services with better quality and perhaps reduced production costs, to enable it compete more favorably with the Indian and Chinese competitors.  Otherwise, we may regard the relationship as nearing its end and prepare for other opportunities with other companies.

Explanation:

Globalization reduces national boundaries by integrating national economies into a globalized economy, thus enabling companies to compete globally for financial resources, goods, and services.  When Globalization 1.0 happened, countries were globalized and the world became a global village.  When Globalization 2.0 from which the G7 profited largely, companies were globalized.  With the current Globalization 3.0, individuals are being globalized, and the highest beneficiaries are Indian and Chinese nationals who appear better prepared to take on the world, garner most of the important resources to themselves, and call the shots from the boardrooms.  An example is Microsoft's current CEO, Satya Nadella, who is an Indian-American.

pychu [463]

The real rate of return is 3.15%.

What is real rate of return?
The annual percentage of financial gain on an investment that has been prorated for inflation is known as the real rate of return. As a result, the real rate of return provides an accurate representation of the real purchasing power of the a given sum of money over time. The investor can calculate how much more of a nominal return seems to be real return by adjusting this same nominal return to account for inflation. Investors must account for the effects of additional factors, including such taxes and investing fees, in addition to adjusting for inflation, in order to calculate real returns on their investments or to make investment decisions. Subtracting this same nominal interest rate from the inflation rate yields the real rate of return.


1+real rate = (1+rate of return) / (1+inflation)
1 + real rate = (1+0.0645) / (1+0.032)
1 + Real Rate = 1.0315
Real Rate = 0.0315 = 3.15%

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The firm's cost of preferred stock is  9.10%

Explanation:

The cost of preferred stock with the flotation of 5% would be the dividend payable by the preferred stock divided by the adjusted current market price(adjusted for flotation cost)

The dividend per year is $8

The adjusted price of the stock=$92.50*(1-f)

where f is the flotation cost in percentage terms i.e 5%

adjusted price of the stock is =$92.50*(1-5%)=$ 87.88  

Cost of preferred stock=$8/$87.88*100  = 9.10%
