A company looking to expand internationally with little risk would choose?

leva [86]

Answer:

Licensing
Franchising

Explanation:

There are no options but Licensing as well as Franchising are some of the least riskiest ways to expand internationally.

With Licensing, the company looking to expand simply sells licenses to various companies in different countries giving them the right to use their image. Basically, the company the license is sold to gets access to the seller's intellectual property but then can run their business with a significant degree of autonomy.

Franchising represents another way to expand with little risk. It involves a company giving a license to another company to sell and sometimes produce their products as well as image rights. The company will give the franchisee (company that gets the license) the knowledge and training required to maintain the franchise and in exchange, franchisee pays a fee.

Both of these methods ensure that the name and brand of a company spread internationally whilst making money from it. Risk is minimized because the investment in other countries is low to nothing.

On December 31, 2021, Interlink Communications issued 6% stated rate bonds with a face amount of $119 million. The bonds mature

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Price of the bond is $104,236,860.

Explanation:

Given:

Coupon rate is 6% or 0.06

Face value = $119,000,000

Coupon payment each year = 0.06×119,000,000

= $7,140,000

Yield to maturity = 7% or 0.007

Maturity period = 30 years

Price of bond = Present value of face value + present value of coupon payment (annuity)

Price of bond = $119,000,000_{(PV\ 30,0.07)} + 7,140,000_{(PVA\ 30,0.07)}$

PV of $1 for 7%,30 periods = 0.1314

PVA of $1 for 7%,30 periods = 12.409

Substitute the values in above formula:

Price of bond = (119,000,000 × 0.1314) + (7,140,000 × 12.409)

= 15,636,600 + 88,600,260

= $104,236,860

There will be slight difference in final answer as present value table is used. Excel spreadsheet gives an accurate answer.

So, price of bond is $104,236,860

Which of the following is a fixed cost?

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The answer is d. payment to hire a security worker to guard the gate to the factory around the clock.

Explanation:

Let re-visit to the concept of Fixed cost before applying to the questions.

Fixed costs are costs which are unchanged given changes in production level.

a. payment to a electric utility is not fixed cost because higher level of production required higher electricity consumption which leads to higher cost of electricity.

b. cost of raw material is not fixed cost because the higher the production level, the higher the raw material required for production.

c. wages to hire assembly line workers is not fixed cost because the higher the production level, the more workers required and the higher the wages will be.

d. payment to hire a security worker to guard the gate to the factory around the clock is fixed cost because regardless of the production level, the security worker will work for the same amount of time and receive the same level of payment as his workload is much likely to remain the same.

So, d is the correct choice.
