Answer:

Real rate of return= 13.7%

Explanation:

<em>The return on investment is the sum of the dividends earned and capital gains made during the holding period of the investment. </em>

<em>Dividend is the proportion of the profit made by a company which is paid to shareholders.  </em>

<em>Capital gains is another type of the return made on an equity investment as a result of increase in the value of the shares. It is difference between the cost of the share and the value at the time of disposal. </em>

<em>Therefore, we can can compute the return on the investment as follows: </em>

The total return = (2.90) + (65.60-60)= 8.5

To determine the real return, we adjust the nominal return for the impact of inflation as follows:

Real total return ($) =  8.5/1.034=8.220

Total return in (%) = (8.220 /60)× 100= 13.7%

Answer:

1.1%

Explanation:

To calculate the approximate real rate of return on the investment, we first need to calculate the nominal rate of return. As shown below:

Nominal Return = (Price of Share Sold - Price of the Share + Dividend received on share) / Price of the Share x 100

Nominal return = ($65.60 - $60.00 + $2.90) / $60.00

= 0.045 x 100

= 4.5%

Then we deduct the inflation rate from the nominal return to get the approximate real rate. This calculate below:

Approximate real rate = Nominal Return - Inflation rate

Approximate real rate = 4.5% - 3.4%

= 1.1%

Hence, the approximate real rate  on this investment is 1.1%.

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by pr
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.

On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.

The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.

There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.

If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.
