Answer: A) Multinationals must subjectively determine the local "living wage," which is usually more than the local legal wage in developing countries. Customers surveyed say they are willing to pay a few dollars more to improve working conditions in sweatshops.

Explanation:

Developing countries are notorious for setting low legal minimum wages in order to attract foreign investment and also because such countries have lower standards of living.

For Multinationals to improve conditions therefore, they would have to independently determine a living wage that they could pay such workers to alleviate their conditions and this effort would be taxing because Multinationals are not on ground to conduct proper research.

A silver lining is that customers surveyed say they are willing to pay extra if conditions in sweat shops would improve.

Full question is;

As the number of multinational corporations increases, we are experiencing international ethical dilemmas. One very real concern during the past decade is the human rights abuses in sweatshops where several multinationals contract manufacture their products, in exchange for cheap labor. Several retailers have banned together to set ethical standards in foreign factories. Which of the following statements summarizes the challenges of companies doing business in developing countries and the concerns of their customers?

A) Multinationals must subjectively determine the local "living wage," which is usually more than the local legal wage in developing countries. Customers surveyed say they are willing to pay a few dollars more to improve working conditions in sweatshops.

B) Economically sensitive customers want companies to pass along cost savings to them, at all costs, even if the products are made through offshore outsourcing. Companies want to please customers, first!

C) Most multinational corporations have made no attempt to improve working standards at sweatshop factories. They will turn a blind eye to the problem unless U.S. law is passed to force the issue. Customers understand that legal limits come before ethical standards.

D) Multinationals cannot be expected to demand socially responsible behavior from their supplier, including foreign sweatshops. When doing business abroad, the U.S. company need not comply with U.S. law when its supplier(s) is not in the U.S. or on U.S. territory.

Answers are: 
<span>Producers supply the exact goods that consumers buy.
Consumers have enough goods, at the given price
</span><span>Producers use their resources efficiently

At the equilibrium price, the quantity bought= quantity sold. Consumers have enough goods at the given price, meaning that there isn't anyone who wants to buy the good at that price but can't, and producers use their resources efficiently.

The whole economy does not waste resources, since this is the market-efficient outcome, and there aren't many shortages or surpluses for the same reason. </span>

Sanborn Industries has the following overhead costs and cost drivers. Direct labor hours are estimated at 100,000 for the year.
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

d) 34.17

Explanation:

we must first calculate the total overhead expenses = $120,000 (ordering and receiving) + $297,000 (machine setup) + $1,500,000 (machining) + $1,200,000 (assembly parts) + $300,000 (inspection) = $3,417,000

since overhead is applied based on direct labor hours, then the predetermined overhead rate = total overhead expenses / total direct labor hours = $3,417,000 / 100,000 labor hours = $34.17 per labor hour
