In many developing countries, the majority of citizens make their living through microenterprises- informal, tiny businesses tha

t barely yield enough to survive.Without financial services, most of these entrepreneurs find growth simply impossible. The Foundation for International Community Assistance (FINCA), a nonprofit established in 1984, stepped into the gap by providing micro-loans ($50-$500) to the poorest of the poor entrepreneurs, through village banks that are administered by the people they serve. The FINCA program has been amazingly successful at breaking the vicious cycle of poverty for its clients. Check out their story on the Web at www.finca.org. Why has the FINCA approach worked so well? Do you think it would work in poor communities in the United States? Why or why not?

Answer:

The company provides micro financial services to poor and the needy people having no access to regular banking services

This helps to boost small businesses and financial inclusion which are heart of any economy and vital to the economy and promoting growth.

Possible measures taken by the organization includes providing funds for at lower interest rates and providing credit services. Subsidized credit to deficient areas increases productivity and employment growth by means of boosting the small and medium-sized enterprises.

This may work in poor communities in United States. However in united schemes there are lots of other governmental schemes such as coupons, free food etc program are already running.

However, these programs are also carrying a potential here. But there potential is much greater in poor countries having less developed banking and financial reach.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

b) $113,000

Explanation:

For the computation of net income under absorption costing first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-

variable overhead per unit = $105,000 ÷ 35,000

= $3 per unit

The Variable cost of production per unit

Particulars                       Amount

Direct material                  $19.00

Direct labor                       $21.00

Variable overhead           $3.00

Variable cost of production

per unit                              $43.00

Cost per unit of finished goods under absorption costing

Particulars                             Amount

Total direct material cost $665,000

($19 × 35000)

Total direct labor              $735,000

($21 × 35000)

Total variable overhead $105,000

Total fixed overhead       $175,000

Total                                 $1,680,000

Units in finished goods = Number of units produced - units sold

= 35,000 - 21,000

= 14,000

Cost of finished goods under variable costing

= Variable cost of production per unit × Number of units in finished goods

= $43 × 14,000

= $602,000

Cost of goods sold

= Production cost - Finished goods  cost

= $1,680,000 - $602,000

= $1,078,000

Income statement under absorption costing

Particulars                        Amount

Sales revenue                $1,491,000

($71 × 21,000)

Less: cost of goods sold -$1,078,000

Gross Profit                      $413,000

Less : operating expenses -$300,000

Net operating income          $113,000

When transportation costs are added to production costs, it becomes unprofitable to ship some products over a large distance. Th
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The correct answer is have a low value-to-weight ratio.

Explanation:

Products that have low weight-value ratios (for example, coal, iron ore, bauxite and sand) also have low storage costs but high movement costs as a percentage of their sales price. Inventory management costs are calculated as a ration of the value of the product. Low product value means low storage cost, since inventory management costs are the dominant factor in storage cost. When the value of the product is low, transport costs represent a high proportion of the sale price.

Consequently, companies that deal with products of low value for weight frequently try to negotiate more favorable transport rates; rates are generally lower for raw materials than for finished products of the same weight.
