Answer:

b. cannot be more competitive than a MNC on its home turf even if it has superior knowledge of the local market.

Explanation:

In the given scenario a company that sources its products, sells its products, and raises its funds domestically will most likely have more competitive advantage than a multinational corporation.

This is due to the fact that it has superior knowledge of the local market.

MNCs will have a hard time adapting to the local market to compete effectively with the local companies.

However local businesses and MNCs will face common challenges like country risk and exchange rate risk.

Because MNCs have ability to source its products in one country, sell them in several countries, and raise its funds in a third country they will provide a stiff competition

Required 3.

ASTRO COMPANY

Forecasted Contribution Margin Income Statement

For Year Ended December 31, 2016

Sales                             $ 1,000,000

Variable costs               ($ 400,000 )

Contribution margin      $ 600,000

Fixed costs                    ($ 450,000 )

Net loss                           $ 150,000

Required 4.

Sales to meet target profit (dollar sales) = $1,833,333

Sales to meet target profit (unit sales) = 73,334

Explanation:

Break even point is the level of activity where a Company neither makes a profit nor a loss.

<em>Break even point (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin Ratio</em>

Where,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales

                                           = $ 200,000 / $ 1,000,000

                                           = 0.20

Therefore,

Break even point (dollar sales) = $250,000 / 0.20

                                                   = $1,250,000

<u>Assuming the machine is installed</u>

Contribution Margin Ratio = ($ 1,000,000 - $400,000) / $ 1,000,000

                                           = $600,000 / $1,000,000

                                           = 0.60

Therefore,

Break even point (dollar sales) = ($250,000 + $200,000) / 0.60

                                                   = $750,000

Sales to meet target profit of $200,000

Sales to meet target profit (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost + Target Profit  / Contribution Margin Ratio

                                                                  = ($450,000 + $200,000) / 0.60

                                                                  = $1,833,333

Sales to meet target profit (unit sales) = $1,833,333 / $25

                                                               = 73,334

Artist 52 [7]

Answer and explanation:

Location is one of the many factors businesses must consider at the moment of starting operations. Commercial areas tend to have higher rent and property prices. Typically, businessmen deal with it by increasing their products price so they can cover expenditures and make a profit. At the same time, most consumers are willing to pay the higher price for the product because it removes the need for relocation even if it could imply moving one or two blocks away.
