IKEA is very Sweden-centric; that is, they like doing it the Swedish way, from the names of the furniture to the management of t

he company. Sweden is a neutral country, so maybe this is the way to go for a global company, but is smart to be too centric to a specific country when you are a global corporation

Answer:

It can be a smart strategy if the country has a significant amount of soft power (power not on military or economic terms, but on cultural and social terms).

Explanation:

For example, Sweden is a country that enjoys a high level of prestige around the world, because it is a very well developed country, with a very high standard of living, an economic model that many people admire (the Nordic Model), and several cultural exports like Volvo cars, or ABBA, that enjoy popularity around the world.

IKEA, in that sense, is like another Swedish cultural export, and when people go to an IKEA, they go expecting to find something "Swedish", so in this sense, the strategy can clearly pay off because of the soft power that Sweden has.

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

  • June 3 Purchased goods for $7,900 from Diamond Inc. with terms 2/10, n/30.              

Merchandise            $7,900  Debit    

Accounts Payable   $7,900  Credit    

     

  • 5 Returned goods costing $3,000 to Diamond Inc. for credit on account.            

Accounts Payable   $3,000  Debit    

Merchandise    $3,000  Credit    

     

  • 6 Purchased goods from Club Corp. for $1,950 with terms 2/10, n/30.          

Merchandise            $1,950  Debit    

Accounts Payable   $1,950  Credit    

     

  • 11 Paid the balance owed to Diamond Inc.          

Accounts Payable   $4,900  Debit    

Merchandise    $98   Credit    

Cash                 $4,802  Credit    

     

  • 22 Paid Club Corp. in full.            

Accounts Payable  $1.950  Debit    

Cash                     $1.950  Credit    

Explanation:

First recorded the journal entry of the purchased merchandise.

  • June 3 Purchased goods for $7,900 from Diamond Inc. with terms 2/10, n/30.              

Merchandise            $7,900  Debit    

Accounts Payable   $7,900  Credit    

When merchandise is returned, we make the opposite entry      

  • 5 Returned goods costing $3,000 to Diamond Inc. for credit on account.            

Accounts Payable   $3,000  Debit    

Merchandise    $3,000  Credit    

 

It's recorded again the journal entry of the purchased merchandise.  

  • 6 Purchased goods from Club Corp. for $1,950 with terms 2/10, n/30.          

Merchandise            $1,950  Debit    

Accounts Payable   $1,950  Credit    

When the balance is paid it's necessary to register de discount availabe becuase the payment was within 10 days, 2/10.      

  • 11 Paid the balance owed to Diamond Inc.          

Accounts Payable   $4,900  Debit    

Merchandise    $98   Credit    

Cash                 $4,802  Credit    

In the case of Club Corp the paid is in full because it's out of the discount period.

  • 22 Paid Club Corp. in full.            

Accounts Payable  $1.950  Debit    

Cash                     $1.950  Credit
