The U.S. government decides to impose punitive 100 percent ad valorem tariffs on imports of computers from Thailand to punish the country for administrative trade barriers that restrict U.S. exports to Thailand-Such targeted trade barriers can often be easily circumvented without having to locate production facilities in an expensive country like the U.S.
Explanation:
- As long as their is no change in the manufacturing requirements the company can consider Malaysia or Hong Kong for production of Personal computers.
- Lowering the price of the goods but if you guarantee quality good at a better price then all the trade markets will vie for your attention
- Also exporting the personal computer to Canada or nearby market can be an alternative option
Hence such targeted trade barriers can often be easily circumvented without having to locate production facilities in an expensive country like the U.S.
Question lacks some precise information about the cash flow. However it would be inferred IBM has a positive future investment value.

Answer: Option A which is the Dealership 0% financing option will be preferable if the Price of the car is less than the different of Loan monthly Payments minus Rebates.
Explanation:
OPTION 1
A buyer pays 60 monthly instalments and the interest rate is 0%. This tells us that there is no interest the value of the debt (Which is the price of 2003 Protege S hatchback) will not increase over the period of 60%, with this option time value of money is not considered.
Option 2
The buyer receives a Rebate of $3600 if the car is paid for in cash. The buyer qualifies for a loan at an effective rate of 7% per annum. The amount of a loan will be the Price of a 2003 Protege S Hatchback. Assuming the Loan will also ave a period of 60 months, The Total amount Payable over the period of 60 months equals Loan Monthly payments multiplied by 60 months. The buyer receives a rebate of $3600, therefore The Net Amount Payable for Option 2 financing is found by multiplying Loan monthly payments by 60 months then subtract the Cash Rebate received of $3600
Let us now compare the two options to find out how Large must the Car be for option A to be preferable.
Y = The Price of a 2003 Protege Hatch Back, Which also equals the amount of debt over a period of 60 years (option A has no interest)
Monthly Payments of a loan = P
number of Periods = 60 months
Debt in 60 months versus Loan payments multiplied by 60 months - rebate
Therefore Y ∠ P x 60 months - $3600
Option A which is the Dealership 0% financing option will be preferable if the Price of the car is less than the different of Loan monthly Payments minus Rebates.
Answer:
The answer is 9,360 direct labor-hours.
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the direct labor-hours per unit. The second step is to calculate the total direct labor-hours required to produce the additional systems.
Step 1
Direct labor-hours per unit = Direct labor / Average wage rate per hour
Star100: Direct labor-hours per unit = 40 / $25 = 1.6
Star150: Direct labor-hours per unit = 50 / $25 = 2
Step 2
Total labor-hours required = Direct labor-hours per unit x Number of systems required
Star100: Total labor-hours required = 1.6 x 2,600 = 4,160
Star150: Total labor-hours required = 2 x 2,600 = 5,200
Combined direct labor-hours required = 4160 + 5,200 = 9,360
