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.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

a. The number of units purchased in October = 400

The cost per unit = $12

b-1. Cost of goods sold = $7,950

Ending inventory = $6,450

b-2. Cost of goods sold = $8,650

Ending inventory = $5,750

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Beginning inventory    300 units  at $10 per unit = $3,000

May purchases            600 units at $11 per unit =     6,600

October purchases     400 units at $12 per unit =    4,800

Goods available        1,300 units                             $14,400

Ending inventory        550 units

Goods sold                 750 units

a. The number of units purchased in October = 400 (1,300 - 300 - 600)

The cost per unit = $12 ($4,800/400)

b-1. Cost of goods sold and ending inventory using FIFO method:

Cost of goods sold:

300 units  at $10 per unit = $3,000

450 units at $11 per unit =     4,950  $7,950

Ending inventory = $6,450 ($14,400 - $7,950)

b-2. Cost of goods sold and ending inventory using LIFO method:

Cost of goods sold:

350 units at $11 per unit =     3,850

400 units at $12 per unit =    4,800

Total Cost of goods sold = $8,650

Ending inventory = $5,750 ($14,400 - $8,650)
