Answer:

a. Strategic alliance 

Explanation:

A strategic alliance is when two or more companies come together to achieve a certain objective. The companies that come together still remain independent.

Some of the reasons for a strategic alliances include-

1. Penetrating a new market.

2. Increasing market share

3. Increasing economies of scale.

Strategic alliances reduces cost because the number of companies that would bear the cost of a project has increased.

A subsidiary is a company that is wholly owned by another company known as the parent company. A subsidiary doesn't lead to cost reduction.

In acquisition, a company gains control by purchasing more than 50% of a company's shares. It doesn't lead to cost reduction.

Export is selling goods and services abroad.

Licensing is giving another company the permission to make use of its property in its production process.

Based on current dividend yields and expected capital gains, the expected rates of return on portfolios A and B are 9.1% and 12.
podryga [215]

Answer:

A.) ALPHA

Portfolio A = 8.5%

Portflio B = 13.5%

B.) Sharpe measure

Portfolio A = 0.1519

Portflio B = 0.1479

Explanation:

T- bill rate (Rf) =5%

S&P 500 index ( Rm) = 10%

Portfolio A;

Expected rate of return = 9.1%

Beta (B) = 0.7

Standard deviation (s) = 27%

Portfolio B;

Expected rate of return = 12.1%

Beta (B) = 1.7

Standard deviation = 48%

Required rate of return for both portfolios;

Rf + B × (Rm - Rf)

Portfolio A :

5% + 0.7 ×(10% - 5%) = 5% + 0.7 × (5%)

5% + 3.5% = 8.5%

Portfolio B :

5% + 1.7 ×(10% - 5%) = 5% + 1.7 × (5%)

5% + 8.5% = 13.5%

A) Alpha(A) of Portfolio A and B ;

A = Expected return - Required return

Alpha of portfolio A :

9.1% - 8.5% = 0.6%

Alpha of Portfolio B:

12.1% - 13.5% = - 1.4%

B.) Sharpe measure for portfolio A and B;

Sharpe ratio = (Expected rate of return - Rf) / s

Portfolio A = (9.1% - 5%)/27% = 0.1519

Portfolio B = (12.1% - 5%)/48% = 0.1479

I will choose Portfolio A

You are the CEO of a company that has to choose between making a $100 million investment in Russia or Poland. Both investments p
dlinn [17]

Answer:

Going by the Ease of Doing Business ranking of 2020, prepared by the World Bank, which is perhaps the most reliable ranking to assess business risk in different countries.

Russia has a higher score in the ranking, which means that doing business is less risky there. Poland has particularly high risks in the starting a business category, which means that the mere act of starting the business in Poland might be a risky decision.

Russia has a high risk in trading accross borders, probably because the country is subject to several international sanctions.

If we go only by score, Russia has a higher score, so, as the CEO, you should probably invest there. However, you should avoid investing in Russian companies that try to export abroad, because of the high risks associated with trade in that country.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Given: Total budgeted factory overhead cost = $600000.

           Plantwide allocation base=  100000 hours.

Now, finding plantwide factory overhead rate.

Formula; Plantwide factory overhead rate= \frac{total\ budgeted\ factory\ overhead\ costs }{plantwide\ allocation\ base.}

⇒ Plantwide factory overhead rate= \frac{600000}{100000} = \$ 6 per\ hours

Hence, Zorn´s plantwide factory overhead rate is $6 per hour not $3 per hour.
