Answer:
Both strategies can be at odds with each other, because cutting costs can reduce the quality of the cars produced and exported, leading to the undesired effect of increasing recalls, which is precisely the other thing that Toyota wants to reduce.
Explanation:
For this reason, Toyota should try instead to improve quality instead of cutting costs, so that its cars become so desirable that even a strong yen does not prevent consumers from buying.
This strategy can be contrasted with country-wide strategies when it comes to export goods: some countries depreciate their currency and/or rely on the export of cheap goods, these countries tend to be less competitive, and the strategy may not live up to expectations. Italy implemented this strategy until it adopted the euro, and could not devalue its currency anymore.
On the contrary, other countries aim for quality even if their currency is strong. This is the German strategy, which has maintained a healthy export economy when it had the mark, and now with the euro, both strong currencies.
In conclusion, Toyota should try to be more like Germany, and less like Italy.
Answer:
A, it brings into question the quality of earnings.
Explanation:
The quality of earning refers to the amount of income that is as a result of the activities of a company.
for example, if the profits posted by a company is very high as a result of taking decisions like improving sales or reducing the cost of production, it means the quality of earning of that company is high.

the formula, simply put is
Quality of earning ratio = Net cash from operational activities

Answer: $1.49
Explanation:
First, we would calculate the diluted shares outstanding which will be:
= 200,000 + 12,000(6/36)
= 200,000 + 12,000(1/6)
= 200,000 + 2,000.
= 202,000
Diluted earnings per share = Net income / Diluted shred Outstanding
= 300,000 / 202,000
= $1.49
Answer:
Missing word <em>"2. What is the total sunk cost regarding the decision to buy the model 200 machine rather than the model 300 machine? 3. What is the total opportunity cost regarding the decision to invest in the model 200 machine?"</em>
<em />
1. Differential cost of buying model 200 machine = Cost of model 200 machine - Cost of model 300 machine
= $342,000 - $373,650
= -$31,650
We'll have a savings of $31,650 if model 200 is purchased rather than model 300
2. $383,000 (The Cost of existing machine). Note: $383,000 is a sunk cost since it has already been incurred.
3. Opportunity cost is the total return of the project if the money was invested elsewhere. The Opportunity cost of investing in model 200 machine is $445,600 (Returns from the alternate project)
