Answer:
Explanation:
There are no options but Licensing as well as Franchising are some of the least riskiest ways to expand internationally.
With Licensing, the company looking to expand simply sells licenses to various companies in different countries giving them the right to use their image. Basically, the company the license is sold to gets access to the seller's intellectual property but then can run their business with a significant degree of autonomy.
Franchising represents another way to expand with little risk. It involves a company giving a license to another company to sell and sometimes produce their products as well as image rights. The company will give the franchisee (company that gets the license) the knowledge and training required to maintain the franchise and in exchange, franchisee pays a fee.
Both of these methods ensure that the name and brand of a company spread internationally whilst making money from it. Risk is minimized because the investment in other countries is low to nothing.
Answer:
(A) Interest coverage charge ratio= 6.21
(B) Fixed charge coverage = 2.84
(C) Profit margin ratio= 8.57%
(D) Total assets turnover= 1.55
(E) Return on assets= 13.26%
Explanation:
(A) The Interest coverage charge ratio can be calculated as follows= EBIT/Interest expense
= 45,300/7,300
= 6.21
(B) The fixed charge coverage can be calculated as follows
= income before fixed charge + interest/fixed charges + interest
= 45,300+13,300/7,300+13,300
= 58,600/20,600
= 2.84
(C) The profit margin ratio can be calculated as follows
= Net income/sales × 100
= 22,800/266,000 × 100
=0.0857 × 100
= 8.57%
(D) The total assets turnover can be calculated as follows
= Sales/total assets
= 266,000/172,000
= 1.55
(E) The return on assets can be calculated as follows
= Net income/Total assets × 100
= 22,800/172,000 × 100
= 0.13255×100
= 13.26%
Answer:
should specialize in the production of goods for which they have a lower opportunity cost of production than their trading partners
Explanation:
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
For example, country A produces 10kg of beans and 5kg of rice. Country B produces 5kg of beans and 10kg of rice.
for country A,
opportunity cost of producing beans = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing rice = 10/5 = 2
for country B,
opportunity cost of producing rice = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing beans = 10/5 = 2
Country A has a comparative advantage in the production of beans and country B has a comparative advantage in the production of rice
Country A should specialise in the production of beans and B should specialise in the production of rice
Answer:
option (C) - 6.11%
Explanation:
Data provided :
Coupon rate one year ago = 6.5% = 0.065
Semiannual coupon rate = 
= 0.0325
Face value = $1,000
Present market yield = 7.2% = 0.072
Semiannual Present market yield, r = 
= 0.036
Now,
With semiannual coupon rate bond price one year ago, C
= 0.0325 × $1,000
= $32.5
Total period in 15 years = 15 year - 1 year = 14 year
or
n = 14 × 2 = 28 semiannual periods
Therefore,
The present value = ![C\times[\frac{(1-(1+r)^{-n})}{r}]+FV(1+r)^{-n}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=C%5Ctimes%5B%5Cfrac%7B%281-%281%2Br%29%5E%7B-n%7D%29%7D%7Br%7D%5D%2BFV%281%2Br%29%5E%7B-n%7D)
= ![\$32.5\times[\frac{(1-(1+0.036)^{-28})}{0.036}]+\$1,000\times(1+0.036)^{-28}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%2432.5%5Ctimes%5B%5Cfrac%7B%281-%281%2B0.036%29%5E%7B-28%7D%29%7D%7B0.036%7D%5D%2B%5C%241%2C000%5Ctimes%281%2B0.036%29%5E%7B-28%7D)
or
= $32.5 × 17.4591 + $1,000 × 0.37147
= $567.42 + $371.47
= $938.89
Hence,
The percent change in bond price = 
= 
= - 6.11%
therefore,
the correct answer is option (C) - 6.11%
