Answer:
$13,915,000
Explanation:
Land-cost $1,250,000
Construction cost $12,000,000
Equipment cost(150,000+15,000) $165,000
Inventory $500,000
Total initial investment outlay $13,915,000
Please note that fair value of land is irrelevant as the land was purchased for the outlet being set up and not for any other project.
As long as the rate of return is bigger than the inflation, the value and amount of money will increase and so will the purchasing power: the correct answer is "it will increase".
For example, if you invest 100 dollars, you will receive 108 dollars back, and you'd need 103 dollars to have the same value of money as before - but you have more.
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.
