Answer:

The number of firemen employed will decrease while the wage of firemen will decrease

Explanation:

In an economy when there is an alternative or substitute that enters the market it results in reduction of demand for that product because some consumers will go for the other good.

In this scenario where building codes change to require firewalls and sprinklers to be included in all new construction, there will be a reduction in the demand for firemen. So number of firemen employed will be less.

This is because there is an alternative to using firemen now (firewalls and sprinklers).

Supply of firemen will remain the same, so more people are now competing for less jobs.

They will be more willing to take less wages than before so wages will reduce.

What are some of the primary reasons a company decides to expand internationally? Identify a company in the news that has recent
nignag [31]

Answer:

Primary reasons a company would decide to expand internationally are as follows:  

  • Expanding markets and increasing sales are one of the primary reasons.
  • Companies get globalized in order to become a market leader.
  • The company may choose to enter into international market in order to diversify a company's product line.
  • Markets and investments would be protected by companies once they enter into international market and get engaged in an international business.
  • Controlling the expenses is again one of the most important reasons. Company would buy the resources to gain cost advantage.
  • For example, the company which is located in Canada gets most of their resources from China; the company would look forward to get situated near China.
  • Another reason would be, to get protected from their competitors or to gain advantage over them; the company would decide to expand internationally.

The three motivational factors that induce a company to go global are as follows:

  • Economies of Scale — The advantage that a company gain through mass production to achieve the lowest possible production cost per unit.
  • Economies of scope — The advantage that a firm gains by producing different varieties of products and services and at different regions.
  • Low-Cost Production Factors — It is an opportunity to purchase the resources at the lower possible cost.

Jaguar Land Rover decided to manufacture cars outside the UK for the first time. In recent years, it has rapidly expanded in its home UK and the company is planning to go to Brazil and implement the strategies that they had implemented in India.

Jaguar Land Rover moves to other countries to gain the opportunity of producing at a lower price and to gain economies of scale.

Jiminez, Inc., had the following transactions during the month of March, current year. Prepare an income statement based on this
Citrus2011 [14]

Question Completion:

Cash received from bank loans was $10,000.

Revenues earned and received in cash were $9,000.

Dividends of $4,000 were paid to stockholders.

Expenses incurred and paid were $5,600.

Answer:

Jiminez, Inc.

Income Statement for the month ended March 31:

Revenue                                          $9,000

Expenses                                           5,600

Net income                                      $3,400

Dividends                                          4,000

Retained earnings during the year ($600)

Explanation:

Jiminez, Inc. paid more dividends to stockholders this month than it actually generated in net income.  The excess amount of dividends must be from retained earnings carried forward from the previous month.  In preparing the income statement for the month of March, Jiminez, Inc. must deduct all the expenses from its revenue to obtain the net income before tax.  The bank loan does not form part of the items for the preparation of the income statement, as only temporary accounts are considered.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

- BEP in unit: 4,000 units;

- In case fixed cost increases by 10%, New BEP in unit: 4,400 units.

- Net income: 1,000,000p.

- BEP in units if sale price to decrease : 8,000 units => Price change should not take place as it moves the company from making 1 million peso profit to a loss as sales in units (1,200 + 5,000 =6,200) is lower than break-even point ( 8,000 units).

Explanation:

Please find detailed calculations as below:

- BEP in unit is calculated as Fixed cost/ Margin earned by one product = 4,000,000/(3,000 - 2,000) = 4,000.

- New BEP in unit is calculated as  New Fixed cost/ Margin earned by one product = (4,000,000 x 1.1)/(3,000 - 2,000) = 4,400.

- Net income: Sales - fixed cost - variable cost = 3,000 x 5,000 - 4,000,000 - 2,000 x 5,000 = 1,000,000 p

- BEP in units if sale price to decrease: Fixed cost/ Margin earned by one product = 4,000,000/(2,500 - 2,000) = 8,000.
