Answer:

1. $858,000

2. Chicken = 24,000 units and Fish = 36,000 units

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. The anticipated level of profits for the expected sales volumes is

= Expected sales of chicken × (Selling price per taco - Variable cost per taco) + Expected sales of fish × (Selling price per taco - Variable cost per taco) - total fixed cost

= 200,000 × ($3 - $1.50) + 300,000 × ($4.50 - $2.25) - $117,000

= $300,000 + $675,000 - $117,000

= $858,000

2. The break even volume is

Let we assume the sale units be X

So, total units sold for chicken = 40X

And, for the fish it is = 60X

Sale units of chicken × (Selling price per taco - Variable cost per taco) + Sale units of chicken × (Selling price per taco - Variable cost per taco) = Total Fixed cost

0.40X × (3 – 1.50) + 0.60X × (4.50 – 2.25) = $117,000

0.60X + 1.35X = $117,000

1.95X = $117,000

So, the X is 60,000 units

So for chicken it is 60,000 × 40% = 24,000 units

And for fish it is 60,000 × 60% = 36,000 units

Answer: 1. A. China in Zambia

B. Increased Market Share

Explanation:

A. China in Zambia

For years now many have worried about Chinese influence in China and what they view as subtle attempts by China to engage in modern day Colonialism through methods such as Predatory Loaning practices.

One glaring example is that of Zambia.

There are several ways in which the Chinese have established a foothold in Zambia and are making the country lose its sovereignty and national culture.

1. Loans for Infrastructure

China has invested massively in Zambia which is a big Copper exporter to enable them mine and capture the Copper that Zambia has for use in production in China. In the last 6 years, Zambia has embarked on over 29 projects all funded by about $9 billion in Chinese loans. With such loans being owed, the amount of Chinese influence will be great.

2. Small Scale Entrepreneurs

Chinese people have emigrated to Zambia in droves and some of them have started street level businesses also called Chinese Shops where they sell every day goods ranging from AA batteries to bicycles. These put pressure and compete with local Entrepreneurs who might not be able to get those goods as cheaply as the Chinese can from China. This as well as the importation of Chinese goods and services to feed the Chinese people involved has led to Zambian adopting Chinese foods and goods for themselves as well.

3. Political Interference

With such a huge investment in Zambia, many have noted with concern that China often meddles in the politics of the Southern African nations by picking candidates that will be more friendly to their Economic aspirations. This directly leads to a loss of sovereignty as well as an erosion in the independence of the national culture.

2. Oligopolies refer to firms that exist in an industry that has very few competitors and with the less competitions have a chance to make huge profits. Getting into the industries they operate in can be quite difficult due to high start-up costs as well as already well established competition. These include industries like the Motor and Aeroplane manufacturing industries.

As a result of Globalization, these companies have spread across the globe and as they are already established, they have the unique opportunity to charge less for their goods due to Economies of Scale. This allowed them to discourage local manufacturers in the newer companies they came to which could not hope to compete with such giants. This enabled the Oligopolies to capture the market share that the local competitors gave up thereby increasing the market share of these Oligopolies and by extension their Profitability.

Individual employees have little influence over ethical expectations and behavior.a. Trueb. False

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

In Business management, it is very important, essential and necessary that the top executives or management of an organization design, develop and establish a set of ethical codes, principles, laws, rules, regulations and standards that serve as guidelines, procedures and moral compass to all the employees working in an organization. These set of rules help the employees to understand what is acceptable or allowed while working with the company, as well as understanding the difference between right and wrong behaviors in their actions and decision-making.

Hence, individual employees do not have any influence over ethical expectations and behavior because it is out of their control and are primarily being defined by the top executives or management of the company.

A large open economy has desired national saving of Sd = 1200 + 1000rw, and desired national investment of Id = 1000 - 500rw. Th

exis [7]

Answer: 10%

Explanation:

The Equilibrium real interest rate would be the interest rate that equates the Desired savings to the desired investment for both the National and foreign economy.

Desired national saving + Foreign desired national saving = Desired national investment + Foreign desired national investment

1,200 + 1,000rw + 1,300 + 1,000rw = (1,000 - 500rw) + (1,800 - 500rw)

2,500 + 2,000rw = 2,800 - 1,000rw

2,000rw + 1,000rw = 2,800 - 2,500

3,000rw = 300

rw = 0.1

rw = 10%

melisa1 [442]

The correct answer would be option D, India has high import tariffs.

Mark feels that Darren is too optimistic and that this venture may not turn out to be as profitable as Darren expects it to be. Darren's view is based on the assumption that India has high import tariffs.

Explanation:

When companies import or export products in or out of the country, they are usually charged with a duty which they have to pay on the import or export of the products. This is called as the Tariff.

While considering the export of a product to another country, the import tariffs of that other country has a pretty much impact on the profits of that company's Sales. Higher the tariffs, lower the profits and vice versa.

So when Mark wanted to export his product to India, Darren was with the view that India has high import tariffs which will restrict them to have huge profits of exporting their product.
