1- Walmart wanted global expansion and it availed the opportunity to expand its business by entering Indian market, however the Indian market is far different than the US market that is why a joint-venture was required to enter the different market as Bharti Enterprises was already operating in Indian market.
2- To enter a new market Joint-venture will be suitable because:
In acquisition the investor acquires all the shares of an existing organisation in this way the investor will not be able to operate with the same name as in other markets as the organisation whose shares are purchased already will have a name which if changed all the goodwill will be lost.

In a Greenfield investment the investor purchases shares and bonds of an organisation already operating in the targeted market, in this way the investor will not be able to operate with the same name as in other markets as the organisation whose shares are purchased already will have a name which if changed all the goodwill will be lost.

Please consider the data provided by the exercise. If you have any question please write me back. All the exercises are solved in a single sheet with the formulas indications.
Answer:
c. $5.1 per hour.
Explanation:
Estimated Manufacturing overhead = $249,000
Estimated direct labour hours = 50,000
Predetermined overhead Rate = Estimated Manufacturing overhead / Estimate direct labor hours
Predetermined overhead Rate = $249,000 / 50,000
Predetermined overhead Rate = $4.98
The given is inconsistent with the options given in this question. A similar question is attached with this answer. The following answer is made according to the attached question. please find that.
Estimated Manufacturing overhead = $254,000
Estimated direct labour hours = 50,000
Predetermined overhead Rate = Estimated Manufacturing overhead / Estimate direct labor hours
Predetermined overhead Rate = $254,000 / 50,000
Predetermined overhead Rate = $5.08 = $5.1 per hour
Answer:
$4,900
Explanation:
Given that,
Total cost at a production level of 400 units = $8,500
Each unit of pulp requires = 6 direct labor hours
Variable cost = $1.50 per direct labor hour
Total variable cost:
= Cost per direct labor hour × Direct labor hours required for each unit × No. of units produced
= $1.50 × 6 × 400
= $3,600
Total cost is sum total of total fixed cost and total variable cost.
Total cost = Total fixed cost + Total variable cost
$8,500 = Total fixed cost + $3,600
$8,500 - $3,600 = Total fixed cost
$4,900 = Total fixed cost
