Answer: Option D  

Explanation: In simple words, technology upgrading refers to the process in which a firm intensely changes the level of technology it is using for its operations. In such a process the organisation implements a more advanced technology so that it can enhance the operational activities within.

Technology up gradation is a necessity in today's competitive business environment but if implemented in a right way it can give an organisation a strong competitive advantage which will open new doors to success.

     For example automobile industries upgraded their technology to a higher level which made the operation at such a high scale that it became an oligopoly industry.

An oligopoly industry is the one in which there are few firms operating at a high scale with difficulty in entry due to heavy investments.

ankoles [38]

Answer: C. exporting

Explanation:

As many services have to be produced where they are sold, Exporting is not very ideal in the Service industry even if it might work here and there.

Exporting is a form of FDI that means sending the good in question to another country and this is not ideal when services are needed.

For instance, you need your hair cut in Maine but Maine uses exported Barbers from Mexico City, the logistics of such a business are to understate it, untenable. The barber should be in Maine.

Exercise 19-08 a-b Oriole Corporation incurred the following costs while manufacturing its product.
telo118 [61]

Answer:

$371,700

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold is shown below:

Cost of goods manufactured  = Direct materials used + Direct labor cost + Manufacturing overhead cost + beginning work in process inventory - ending work in process inventory

where,

Manufacturing overhead cost is

= Depreciation on plant + Factory supplies used + Property tax on plant

= $61,000 + $29,300 + $21,800

= $112,100

The cost of goods manufactured is

= $126,400 + $113,500 + $112,100 + $14,600 - $16,700

= $349,900

Now the cost of goods sold is

= Beginning finished goods + Cost of goods manufactured - ending finished goods

= $70,900 + $349,900 - $49,100

= $371,700

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

a. $17,978

b. $300,000

Conditions

  • The  cotton country of lancaster, california has owned his home for ten years
  • purchased it for $178,000, cotton bought a $160,000 homeowner's insurance policy
  • the replacement cost of the home is now $300,000

a.    hence,

the proportion of the house insured = \frac{InsuranceAmount}{PriceOfThe Home} \times 100%

                                                             = \frac{160000}{178000}\times 100

                                                             =   89.89%

Percentage amount covered by the policy

= proportion of the house insured = 89.89%

Amount covered by the policy in dollars

= $20,000 × 89.89%

= $17,978

b

Amount of insurance on the home that cotton should now carry to be fully reimbursed for a fire loss  = current value of the home

= $ 300,000

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

In the first case, the net income is

= Revenue - expense

= $1,000,000 - $750,000

= $250,000

In the first case, the net income is

= Revenue - expense

where,

Revenue is = $1,000,000 + $150,000 = $1,150,000

And, the expenses is $750,000 + $60,000 = $810,000

= $1,150,000 - $810,000

= $340,000

So, the net profit is increased by

= $340,000 - $250,000

= $90,000
