1. When creating its international expansion policy, Walmart at first followed the advice of Harvard professor Theodore Levitt,

who advocated standardization, not localization. "Gone are accustomed differences in national or regional preferences," Levitt wrote. Truly global firms sought to "force suitably standardized products and practices on the entire globe."11Should companies keep a standardized approach or adapt to local markets?

My personal opinion on whether companies should keep a standardized approach or adapt to local markets is:

  • They should adapt to local markets because the needs of the people can easily sustain the business and the business can change their policies based on changing outcomes.

<h3>What is a Local Markets?</h3>

This refers to the demand of customers for a particular good or service in a given area and this is a better method than standardization as this would help to sustain the business.

With this in mind, we can see that adaptation to local markets is vital because this would enable the business owner to analyse the needs of the people and supply them.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

COGS= $598,020

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Kevin owns a retail store, and during the current year, he purchased $610,000 worth of inventory. Kevin's beginning inventory was $67,000, and his ending inventory is $77,200. During the year, Kevin withdrew $1,780 in inventory for his personal use.

We need to deduct the inventory used for personal use.

To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory

COGS= 67,000 + 610,000 - 77,200 - 1,780

COGS= $598,020

Suppose a commercial banking system has $40,000 of outstanding checkable deposits and actual reserves of $4,500. If the reserve
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: $50000

Explanation:

Based on the information that's been given in the question, firstly we need to calculate the excess reserves which will be:

= $4500 - (10% × $40000)

= $4500 - $4000

= $500

Then, the money supply that's expanded will be:

= Excess reserve / Reserve ratio

= $5000 / 10%

= $5000 / 0.1

= $50000

Therefore, the answer is $50,000.

Procedure details described below:

Explanation:

<em>Opened a business bank account for Jones, Inc., with an initial deposit of $45,000 in exchange for common stock. </em>

The cash is an asset for the company And Jones Is the Owner thus, asset and equity increase by 45,000

<em>Paid rent on the office building for the month, $2,000. </em>

The rent is an expense is an incurred cost to continue the operations of the business It decreases the equity and asset (cash used to pay the rent)

<em>Received cash for fees earned of $5,000. </em>

The fees are revenue from the business operations this is a realized gain, therefore, increases equity. Also, Assets increase as cash is an asset.

<em>Purchased equipment, $7,000.</em>

There is no change in the quantities but, the composition of the asset did change. Cash decrease while equipment increase.

<em>Borrowed $20,000 by issuing a note payable. </em>

The note payable is a future obligation to pay. It is a liability for the company assumed in exchange for an asset (cash)

<em>Paid salaries for the month, $1,000. </em>

Like rent, this is an incurred cost(expense) It decreases Equity also, assets as we use cash to pay it.

<em>Received cash for fees earned of $8,000.</em>

Exactly like the previous time, a realized gain generates an increase in equity and assets.

<em>Paid dividends, $3,000.</em>

The dividends are paid to the company's owners thus, the cash leaves the company into the owner's pocket. Both, assets and equity decrease (as there are fewer assets available for the owners to take)

<em />

<em>Paid interest on the note, $100.</em>

The interest also is an incurred cost thus, like salaries and rent expense we decrease equity and assets.
