Inequality to employees is one of the major demerits of a multinational company. This quote can be explained in the following way.
When multinational companies open offices or branches in other countries, regularly they do it in developing nations. The reason why is because in those developing countries these compies can pay cheaper salaries. That is why they leave their native country and open fabrics in regions such as Latin America, Central America, India, or Africa. Labor is cheaper than in the United States or European countries.
So there it is the inequality. Workers labor the same hours or more than workers in developed countries, but h¿they receive less money for their work and fewer perks.

The testator, a widower, had his attorney prepare a will according to the testator's instructions. The attorney mailed the will to the testator. The testator signed the will in the presence of his father, and asked his father to sign the will as a witness, which his father did. The testator then showed the will to his adult son, told him that the signature on the will was his, and asked his son to sign the will as a witness as well. The testator's will devised $100,000 to his adult son, with the remainder of the testator's estate passing to his other two sons in equal shares. When the testator died, the will was offered for probate. The testator was survived by the father, the adult son, and the other two sons. As witnesses, the father and the son are asked to testify to the facts concerning the execution of the will. Should the testator's will be admitted to probate?
Answers:
A. Yes, because the father and the adult son both testified to the facts concerning the execution of the will.
B. No, because the father and the adult son did not sign the will in each other's presence.
C. Yes, because the will had the necessary two witnesses.
D. No, because the father and the adult son are also beneficiaries.
Answer: No, because the father and the adult son did not sign the will in each other's presence
Explanation:
The testator's will should not be admitted to probate because the father and the adult son did not sign the will in each other's presence.
A will requires a writing such that the testator will sign in the joint presence of two attesting witnesses. It should also be noted that both witnesses understand the importance of that act of the testator and then sign in each other's presence.

Explanation:
The role of culture in influencing international business management practices and approaches is an undisputed fact [1, 2]. Studies have shown repeatedly that national cultural systems as well as individual cultures greatly affect the corporate cultural system [3, 4] in many ways. For example, national culture influences managerial decision-making, leadership styles, and human resource management practices [5, 6]. Similarly, national cultures affect managerial functions such as communication, motivation, organizational design, people’s expectations of work design, and reward systems [7]. Moreover, organizational polices (e.g., human resource polices) are influenced by various national institutions such as labor laws, educational and vocational training practices, and industrial standards and regulations [8]. In essence, culture organizes values into mental programs and the behavior of people within organizations is an enactment of such programs [9]. Organizations can be the same in such objective dimensions as physical plant, layout, or product, yet very different in the meanings, which the surrounding human cultures read into them [10]. Not only technologies and markets shape organizational culture, but by the cultural preferences of leaders and employees, national culture has a strong impact on people’s interpretations, understandings, and assessment of those with whom they work. Cultural values are important for interpersonal trust, teamwork, and the role of women in the workplace, among other issues [11, 12].

Answer:
$60,000 increase.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine by how much would the company's gross margin increase or decrease under absorption costing
First step is to calculate FOH per unit at 30,000 unit level
FOH per unit=$150,000/30,000 units
FOH per unit = $5 FOH per unit
Second step is to calculate FOH per unit at 50,000 unit level
FOH per unit=$150,000/50,000 units
FOH per unit= $3 FOH per unit

Joe owns a stock with a beta of 1.5 and a standard deviation of 12%. The stock returned 16%. Ella owns a stock with a beta of 1.34 and a standard deviation of 16.4%. The stock has a total return of 14.8%. The risk free rate is 2.5%. Using the Sharpe ratio, which portfolio performed better
Answer: Joe's portfolio performed better.
Explanation:
The Sharpe ratio provides a risk adjusted return to allow for easier comparison across securities with different risks.
Sharpe ratio = (Return - Risk free rate) / Standard deviation
Joe:
= (16% - 2.5%) /12%
= 1.125
Ella:
= (14.8% - 2.5%) / 16.4%
= 0.75
Joe's portfolio performed better.

When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry. This drives economic profit to zero

The deli industry in the town is still earning economic profit because it is producing the quantity that minimizes average total cost. Therefore, in the long run, more firms would enter in the industry.
A landowner filed an action in federal district court to void a contract for sale of her land to a limited partnership for $500,000. The landowner lived in the forum state. As required by state law, the limited partnership had filed a certificate of limited partnership with the Secretary of State for the forum state. The sole general partner of the limited partnership was a corporation that was incorporated in another state where it also had its principal place of business. The limited partners were citizens of various states, including at least one limited partner who was a citizen of the forum state. Does the court have subject-matter jurisdiction over this action
Answer:
No, because a limited partner is a citizen of the same state as the landowner.

Diversity of citizenship is required for federal court must exist for the federal court to have jurisdiction. Which was not met.
However amount in controversy requirement was met. That is the claim should be above $75,000
uppose the government wants to limit imports of a certain good. Is it preferable to use an import quota or a​ tariff? Why? A. A tariff is preferable because the producer surplus gain is larger than with a quota.​ Therefore, the tariff creates a smaller deadweight​ loss, which is preferable from​ society's standpoint. B. Quotas and tariffs are equivalent in their ability to limit imports and therefore are equally preferable. They cause the same changes in consumer and producer surplus and thus the same deadweight loss. C. A quota is preferable because it​ doesn't require imposing a tax on the good to limit imports. Consumers can still benefit from a lower price while domestic producers benefit from increased sales. D. Although consumer and producer surplus changes are the same under quotas and​ tariffs, tariffs are preferable because the government can redistribute the tariff revenue to offset most of the deadweight loss.
Answer:
Although consumer and producer surplus changes are the same under quotas and tariffs, tariffs are preferable because the government can redistribute the tariff revenue to offset most of the deadweight loss.

During January, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods a total of 90,000 units. At the end of January, 18,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 50% complete with respect to labor. The beginning inventory included labor cost of $37,400 and the production department incurred direct labor cost of $296,700 during January. Compute the direct labor cost per equivalent unit for the department using the weighted-average method.
Answer:
$3.37
Explanation:
Computation for the direct labor cost per equivalent unit for the department using the weighted-average method.
First step is to calculate the Equivalent units
EUP and cost per EUP DL
Completed and transferred 90,000
(90,000 * 100%)
Ending Work in Process
Direct labor 9,000
( 18,000 * 50% )
Equivalent units 99,000
(99,000+9000)
Second step is calculate the total cost
Costs of beginning inventory $37,400
Costs incurred this period 296,700
Total costs $334,100
Now let determine the Cost per equivalent unit
Using this formula
Cost per equivalent unit=Total costs/Equivalent units
Cost per equivalent unit $334,100/99,000
Cost per equivalent unit=$3.37
Therefore the direct labor cost per equivalent unit for the department using the weighted-average method is $3.37
Only one situation exists in which I would be ready to invest in penny stocks: if the money is extra and represents a very small percentage of my entire portfolio, and I am willing to lose it completely. This is because penny stocks are shares in young firms that are still in the early stages of development. The rate of return on these stocks can be enormous, but they can also go bankrupt, causing you to lose all of your money just as quickly. As a result, they're extremely hazardous investments.
Answer:
Investment of excess funds is a good option to multiply the money. One can invest their savings which are not currently in use. The risk appetite of a person is assessed before it decides to invest money.
Explanation:
A person should never invest its full money. It should keep some money for emergency needs. Also it is needed to consider risk appetite of a person and his willingness to take risk in order to construct his portfolio. Returns are dependent on risk levels. More riskier investments will give more returns. Stocks are considered as riskier investments because a company may go bankrupt and you can loose all your money or on the other case there can be flourishing returns waiting for you.

Jacob is looking to buy some car insurance and is reviewing different policies from several different agencies. The first policy he sees costs$750 for the upcoming year and is worth $10000 if he gets in a collision.After doing some research, he estimates that he has a 8% of getting in acar accident for that year. What is the expected value of buying this insurance policy
The expected value of buying this insurance policy is $50.
The expected value of buying the insurance policy is the weighted average of probabilities of the cost of the insurance and the cover if Jacob gets into an accident.
If Jacob gets into an accident and is covered, his payout will be:
= benefit - cost
= 10,000 - 750
= $9,250
The probability of this happening is 8%.
If Jacob does not get into an accident he would lose the $750 he paid in insurance premiums. The probability of this happening is:
= 100% - 8%
= 92%
The expected value of the insurance is:
= (probability of accident * payout if there is an accident) + (probability of no accident * payout if there is no accident)
= (8% * 9,250) + (92% * -750)
= $50
