Answer:

In general, China, Russia and Germany are three big countries; the automobile company will get benefits if it chooses any of the three countries, but it also faces some challenges. It is well known in Germany that the automobile industry is very powerful. If the company chooses to invest in Germany, it will face numerous competitors. Also, in Russia, the trade barriers will be obstacles for the entry of the automobile company. However, with China's low cost labor and large potential domestic market make it an attractive destination for the direct foreign investment.

In January 2012, one US dollar was worth 50 Indian rupees. Suppose that over the next year the value of the Indian rupee decreas
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

59% - a)increase - b)decrease

Explanation:

First of all, we should say that the real exchange rate is calculated by multiplying the nominal exchange rate for the price index and then divide it by the price index of the other country. In another language, using this case as the example, the first nominal exchange rate is 50, as you need 50 rupees to buy 1 dollar. So to calculate the real exchange rate you need to multiply 50 by 100 (the price index of USA) and then divide it by 100 (the price index of India). Note that both price indexes are 100, just a coincidence for making easier the question. Result: 50.

Then we calculate the next real exchange rate: multiply 60 (the new nominal exchange rate) by 106 (the new US price index) and divide by 80 (the new India price index). This throws a result of 79,5. We see a 29,5 increase, and 29,5 represents 59% of 50 (the initial real exchange rate).

Then both questions is more common sense than the reading of the results we just calculated. For example, nominal exchange rate changed from 50 to 60, so the people in India will now have to collect 10 more rupees to buy the same dollar. Let's suppose a pair of shoes in USA costs 40 dollars. Before, Indians needed 2000 rupees to buy it. Now they will need 2400 rupees... it will be more expensive. Plus, the prices of USA had gone up 6%, which means the pair of shoes will now cost 42,4 dollars... even more expensive! As products in USA are more expensive, we can expect that India's consumption of American goods will decrease (law of demand).

With the American consumption of Indian goods happens the opposite, the goods in India became cheaper (price index has fallen), and for the Americans, the same dollars they had will buy more rupees when the exchange rate changed to 60.

What is the profit maximization rule equation?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

mc=mr

Explanation:

This is because in economics, the profit maximization rule is represented as MC = MR, where MC stands for marginal costs, and MR stands for marginal revenue. Companies are best able to maximize their profits when marginal costs -- the change in costs caused by making a new item are equal to marginal revenues............................

Hart Company made 3,040 bookshelves using 22,040 board feet of wood costing $271,092. The company's direct materials standards f
kifflom [539]

1. a. The computation of the direct materials price variance is as follows:

= $2,204 ($12.20 - $12.30) x 22,040) Unfavorable

1.b. The computation of the direct materials quantity variance is as follows:

= $27,816 (24,320 - 22,040) x $12.20) Favorable

2. The direct materials variance that Hart will investigate further is the <em>direct materials quantity variance</em>, which is 10.3% ($27,816/$271,092 x 100) of the actual direct materials costs instead of the<em> </em><em>direct materials price variance</em>, which is only 0.8% of the actual direct materials costs.

3. The journal entry to charge direct materials costs to Work in Process Inventory and record and close the materials variances are as follows:

a. Recording the Direct Materials Costs and Variances

Debit Work in Process $296,704 ($12.20 x 8 x 3,040)

Debit Direct Materials Price Variance $2,204

Credit Direct Materials Quantity Variance $27,816

Credit Raw Materials $271,092

  • To record the charge of direct materials to work in process based on standard cost.

b. Closing the Direct Materials Variances:

Debit Direct Materials Quantity Variance $27,816

Credit Direct Materials Price Variance $2,204

Credit Cost of Goods Sold $25,612

  • To close direct materials variances to the cost of goods sold.

Data and Calculations:

Units of bookshelves produced = 3,040

Feet of board used = 22,040

Cost of board feet of wood = $271,092

Per Unit        Standard     Actual

Price               $12.20      $12.30 ($271,092/22,040)

Board feet        8              7.25 (22,040/3,040)
