Answer:
The correct option is B,$6,710 million
Explanation:
First and foremost,one needs to be aware that net operating profit margin(NOPM) of 3.6% was computed by dividing operating profit after tax by the total revenue for 2016,hence we use same formula to determine the net operating profit after tax for 2017 by merely changing the subject of the formula.
NOPM=net operating profit after/total revenue
net operating profit after tax=NOPM*total revenue
NOPM remains at 3.6%
total revenue for 2017=total revenue for 2016*(1+growth rate)
total revenue for 2016 is $177,526 million
growth rate is 5%
total revenue for 2017= $177,526*(1+5%)=$ 186,402.30 million
Net operating profit after tax= 186,402.30 *3.6%=$ 6,710.48 million
Approximately $6710 million
Answer:
Developing nations are concerned with commodity price stabilization because of the following reasons
- There are high price elasticity of supply and demand for many commodities
- Developing economies are often highly dependent on the export of just one or a few commodities.
Explanation:
In recent decades there has been growing concern about the sharp fluctuations of primary product prices, the effects of those fluctuations on particular groups of producers and particular countries, and the measures which might be taken to reduce or offset the fluctuations.
Producing countries have been dominated by proposals for stabilizing world prices of commodities, in particular via the establishment of a “Common Fund” within the framework of UNCTAD's Integrated Program for Commodities.
However, developing nations are concerned with commodity price stabilization because of the two reasons provided above which could result in inflation and deflation.
