Answer:

D. dispersing its activities among various countries in a manner that lowers costs or else helps achieve greater product differentiation and transferring competitively valuable competencies and capabilities from its domestic operations to its operations in foreign markets

Explanation:

A key condition that makes a firm achieve competitive advantage or a favourable business position is it's costs and product design.

If a firm can lower it's cost in a foreign market while also maintaining quality just as it is has done in it's domestic market then it stands a better chance of success.

For example, if a firm in the clothing line industry decides to expand its operations to a foreign market eg Africa.

A key factor in determining its success is its ability to lower its cost in the foreign market as compared to competitors, while also achieving the same quality standards of products.

Wendy, a graphic designer, does not work for one particular company. She gets assignments and contracts from different companies

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Contingent workers

Explanation:

Contingent workers are people hired to do a specific assignment in an organization. They consist of independent workers, freelancers, consultants, out-sourced employees, and other non-permanent workers who are hired on per job basis. Contingent workers are not considered employees of the organization.

Contingent workers are usually highly skilled, unlike most of the temporary workers. They are hired to work on specific tasks in their areas of specialization. Contingent workers exit a company after their task is completed. They may be re-hired by the same company or any other institution. For example, a tax consultant may be contacted to do tax calculations in a company. Once the assignment is over, they get paid and leave the organization.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

$1.3

Explanation:

The computation of diluted earnings per share is shown below:-

a. Statement showing adjusted net profit

Net income $2,000

Interest expenses $800

($20,000 × 4%)

Less: Tax relating to interest expense $200

($800 × 25%)

Adjusted Net profit $2,600

b. Statement showing weighted average number of common stock shares

Shares of common stock 1,000

Debentures converted into

common stock shares 1,000

Total number of weighted

shares 2,000

Therefore,

Diluted earning per share = Adjusted net profit ÷ Number of weighted average shares

= $2,600 ÷ 2,000

= $1.3

Therefore for computing the diluted earning per share we simply applied the above formula.

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

a. B/C Ratio = 0.296

b. B/C Ratio = 2.964

c. Y = 12.05 USD will be the maximum amount charged by the manager.

Y = 12.05 x 10 = 120.54 USD for the whole group of 10

Explanation:

Solution:

Data Given:

Number of Individuals = 10

Number of Stones = 100

Life Expectancy = 10 Years

Annual benefit = 8.25 USD

Stone Removal Cost = 2.50 USD

Interest Rate = 2%

a. If all the stones are removed by one individual:

Cost = 100 stones x Stone Removal Cost

Cost = 100 x 2.50 = 250 USD

Now, we have to calculate the Benefit/Cost Ratio for this individual by using the following formula:

B/C Ratio = $\frac{AB (P/A, 2, 10)}{Cost}$

Where,

AB = Annual Benefit = 8.25 USD

(P/A, 2%, 10) = 8.983 (From the compound interest table)

Cost = 250 USD

B/C Ratio = $\frac{8.25 * 8.983}{250}$

B/C Ratio = 0.296

b. Each individual removing 10 stones.

Number of individuals = 10

So, the cost of removing the stones will be:

Cost = 10 x 2.50 = 25 USD

So,

B/C Ratio = $\frac{AB (P/A, 2, 10)}{Cost}$

B/C Ratio = $\frac{8.25 * 8.983}{25}$

B/C Ratio = 2.964

c.

In this part, we are already given the B/C ratio, now we need to calculate the maximum amount charged by the manager for the help.

B/C ratio = 2

Let, Y be the amount of the manager. So,

B/C Ratio = $\frac{AB (P/A, 2, 10)}{Cost + Y}$

Plugging in the values and solving for Y:

2 = $\frac{8.25 * 8.983}{25 + Y}$

50 + 2Y = 8.25 x 8.983

2Y = 74.109 - 50

2Y = 24.109

Y = 24.109/2

Y = 12.05 USD will be the maximum amount charged by the manager.

Y = 12.05 x 10 = 120.54 USD for the whole group of 10
