Answer: globalization

Explanation:

Globalization is simply the process by which organizations or businesses start

their operations on international scale or start having international influence.

Despite the advantages of globalization such as allowing several goods and services to be affordable in different countries, improvement in productivity, employment opportunities etc, one challenge is that expanding operations in countries where verbal expressions and gestures do not have the same meaning could pose a difficulty.

An electronics firm is considering how best to supply the world market for microprocessors used in consumer and industrial elect
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

The total value of the world market for this product, over the next 10 yes is minimum of 10 billion dollars.

In a year, this will be 1 billion dollars

To start the manufacturing, a plant worth 500 million dollars has to be erected. This is half of a billion, meaning that the company will make total revenue of 1 billion and have total cost of at least half a billion, in a year.

So the company's yearly profit will be equal to the amount used to erect a manufacturing plant

But hey, the company will pay workers and its workers are highly skilled (will deserve a high pay for their skills) so the company won't even make up to the above calculated profit in a year!

Now, owing to this situation - the situation whereby the expected revenue for the product is not so much above the cost of production - we prescribe CONCENTRATED or CENTRALIZED MANUFACTURING.

This is a case where just a single plant or manufacturing facility will be used to produce the microprocessors. Since the company is virtually just starting out, starting with one plant will be better for them. The customization of their product will be efficient here, as opposed to Decentralized manufacturing (where they'll use a number of plants).

Also, centralized/concentrated manufacturing reduces production cost per unit of the good.

The cost of production is also relatively lower and there is almost no leakage in the utility of resources at the plant because that is the only plant the company has. There'll b maximum utility of facilities and resources.

(B) What kind of locations should the firm favour for its plants??

Here, we consider the fact that the prevailing tariffs in this industry are currently low.

This means that we can focus on other things like:

Nearness of the plant to source of raw materials

Nearness to the required kind of labour (highly skilled labour)

Proximity to consumers (those who purchase the product)

Of these and more factors, I prescribe nearness to highly skilled labour. If raw materials also happen to be in the same region as the required workforce, that is a plus to the company.

The company will hence be better of with a Concentrated manufacturing strategy and a location that favours lower cost of factors of production (land, labour, capital, entrepreneurship)

The Code of Hammurabi was one of the earliest and most complete written legal codes, proclaimed by the Babylonian king Hammurabi, who reigned from 1792 to 1750 B.C. Hammurabi expanded the city-state of Babylon along the Euphrates River to unite all of southern Mesopotamia. The Hammurabi code of laws, a collection of 282 rules, established standards for commercial interactions and set fines and punishments to meet the requirements of justice. Hammurabi’s Code was carved onto a massive, finger-shaped black stone stele (pillar) that was looted by invaders and finally rediscovered in 1901.

A retail dealer in garments is currently selling 24,000 shirts annually. He supplies the following details for the year ended 31
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

a) Calculate Break-even Point in sales revenue and number of shirts sold.

  • 20,000 shirts
  • $16,000,000

b) What is the margin of safety of the dealer expressed as a percentage .

  • 16.67%

c) Assume that 30, 000 shirts were sold during the year, find out the net profit of the firm.

  • $2,000,000

d) Assuming that in the coming year, an additional staff salary of P1,000, 000 is anticipated, and price of shirt is likely to be increased by 15%, what should be the break-even point in number of shirts and sales?

  • 15,625 shirts
  • $14,375,000

e) If taxation rate is 12.5%, and fixed cost increase to 6 000 000 what is the level of sales that must be achieved to a targeted profit of P8 000 000.

  • 47,322 shirts
  • $43,536,240

Explanation:

selling price per shirt $800 x 24,000 = $19,200,000

variable cost per shirt $600 x 24,000 = $14,400,000

total fixed costs $4,000,000

net income $800,000

contribution margin per unit = $800 - $600 = $200

break even point = $4,000,000 / $200 = 20,000 shirts x $800 = $16,000,000

margin of safety = (current sales - break even point) / current sales = ($19,200,000 - $16,000,000) / $19,200,000 = 16.67%

if 30,000 shirts were sold:

contribution margin 30,000 x $200 = $6,000,000

fixed costs $4,000,000

net income $2,000,000

if sales price increases to $920, contribution margin = $320

fixed costs increase to $5,000,000

break even point = $5,000,000 / 320 = 15,625 shirts x $920 = $14,375,000

fixed costs increase to %6,000,000

targeted profit $8,000,000 + tax rate = $9,142,857

sales target = ($6,000,000 + $9,142,857) / $320 = 47,321.43 ≈ 47,322 shirts

The following are data for an economy in billions of dollars: Net rental income 141 Depreciation 1,241 Compensation of employees
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

GDP= 9,872

Explanation:

The Expenditure Approach is a method of measuring GDP by calculating all spending throughout the economy including consumer consumption, investing, government spending, and net exports. This method calculates what a country produces, assuming that the finished goods and services of a country equals the amount spent in the country for that period.

The formula is:

GDP=C+I+G+/-NX

GDP: Gross Domestic Product

(C) consumer spending – this is the amount that all consumers spend on goods and services for personal use.

(I) investment – this is the amount that businesses or owners spend to invest in new equipment or expansions.

(G) government spending – this includes spending on new infrastructure like bridges and roads.

(NX) net exports – this includes spending on a country’s exports minus its spending on imports.

GDP= 6,728+1,767 +1,741+(1,102-1,466)

GDP= 9,872
