Answer: Home replication strategy
Explanation:
The competitive strategy should the company use based on these factors is the home replication strategy. In this strategy, there is a minimal need for flexibility or modifications.
Since the company finds weak pressure to respond to local demands and cost reductions are not necessary, then the home replication strategy is applicable.

Winston Company reported net income of $50,000 for the year. During the year, accounts receivable decreased by $7,000, accounts payable increased by $3,000 and depreciation expense of $5,000 was recorded. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year is Group of answer choices $40,000. $65,000. $49,000. $45,000.
Answer:
$65000
Explanation:
Below is the calculation:
To find the net cash from the operating activity, we are required to add depreciation, accounts payable and accounts receivables.
Net income of the company = $50000
Add- expenses of depreciation = 5000
Add - Increase in accounts payable = 3000
Add - Decrease in accounts receivable = $7000
Thus net cash from operating activity = 50000 + 5000 + 3000 + 7000 = $65000

t is often costly to obtain the information necessary to make good decisions. yet your own interests can be best served by rationally weighing all options available to you. This requires informed decision making. does this mean that making uninformed decisions is irrational? How do you determine how much information is the right amount?
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
1. Yes, making uninformed decisions is irrational. This is because it will cost the individuals making uninformed decisions to lose money in the process. Such individuals may also lose another important aspect concerning their decision, such as technological advantage, political assistance, social benefits, economic privilege, etc.
2. To determine how much information is the right amount is to ensure you continue to acquire information as long as the benefit of the additional information exceeds the additional costs. Otherwise, it is no longer the right amount anymore.
Assume the credit terms offered to your firm by your suppliers are 2.7/5, Net 30. Calculate the cost of the trade credit if your firm does not take the discount and pays on day 30.
Answer: 49.02%
Explanation:
The cost of the trade credit will be calculated thus:
Amount when discount is availed will be: = 100-2.7 = 97.3
Discount rate = 2.7
Interest rate per period = 2.7/97.3 2.77%
Number of Days = 30-5 = 25
Therefore, the EAR will be calculated as:
= [(1+2.77%)^(365/25)] - 1
= 49.02%
Company Company A Company B Forecasted return 7% 11% Standard deviation of returns 8% 23% Beta 1 3 The market risk premium is 6% and the risk-free rate is 3%. Using Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), will you invest in the companies
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Required rate of return = Risk Free Rate + Beta × (Market Return -Risk Free Rate)
For company A
= 3% + 1 × 6%
= 9%
For Company B
= 3% + 3 × 6%
= 21%
As we can see that the forecast return should be lower than the required return so we should not invest in company A also the same is done in company B too
Therefore we dont invest in any of the company

ales $3,700 Current assets $4,500 Current liabilities $960 Costs 2,400 Fixed assets 5,200 Long-term debt 3,620 Taxable income $1,300 Equity 5,120 Taxes (21%) 273 Total $9,700 Total $9,700 Net income $1,027 Assets, costs, and current liabilities are proportional to sales. Long-term debt and equity are not. The company maintains a constant 60 percent dividend payout ratio. As with every other firm in its industry, next year's sales are projected to increase by exactly 30 percent. What is the external financing needed
Answer:
$2,088
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the external financing needed
First step is to calculate the Addition to retained earnings
Sales $4,810
($3700*1.30)
Costs $3,120
($2,400*1.30)
Taxable income $1,690
($4,810-$3,120)
Taxes $355
($1,690*21%)
Net income $1,335
($1,690-$355)
Less:Dividends $801
($1,335*60%)
Addition to retained earnings $534
($1,335-$801)
Second step is to calculate the Total assets
Total assets=$9,700*1.30
Total assets=$12,610
Third step is to calculate the Total equity
Total equity =5,120+Addition to retained earnings
Total equity=5,120+$534
Total equity=$5,654
Fourth step is to calculate Current liabilities
Current liabilities =$960*1.30
Current liabilities=$1,248
Fifth step is to calculate the Total liabilities
Total liabilities=Current liabilities+Long term debt
Total liabilities=$1,248+$3,620
Total liabilities=$4,868
Now let determine the External financing needed
Using this formula
External financing needed=Total assets-(Total equity+Total liabilities)
Let plug in the formula
External financing needed=$12,610-($5,654+$4,868)
External financing needed=$12,610-$10,522
External financing needed=$2,088
Therefore the external financing needed is $2,088
Furniture, Inc., estimates the following number of mattress sales for the first four months of 2019: Month Sales January 29,000 February 40,800 March 34,600 April 36,200 Finished goods inventory at the end of December is 7,000 units. Target ending finished goods inventory is 20% of the next month's sales. How many mattresses need to be produced in January 2019?
Select one:
a. 27,800 mattresses
b. 41,800 mattresses
c. 30,160 mattresses
d. 44,160 mattresses
Answer:
c. 30,160 mattresses
Explanation:
At the beginning of January, we had 7,000 units as opening stock inventory( which was the ending inventory in December), which means out of the planned sales in January 7,000 units are already available
The balance of January sales to be produced in January is the excess of planned sales of 29,000 units over the beginning inventory of 9,000 units
January sales items to be produced in January=29000-7000
January sales items to be produced in January=22,000
Also, we need to produce 20% of February sales in January which would serve as the closing inventory
total production in January=22,000+(40,800*20%)
total production in January=. 30,160 mattresses
Rye Company has provided the following information: Weighted average number of outstanding common shares, 192,000 Net income, $441,600 Number of authorized common shares, 390,000 Number of treasury shares, 23,000 If Rye has issued 215,000 shares, what is Rye's earnings per share (EPS)
Answer:
$2.30
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what is Rye's earnings per share (EPS)
Using this formula
Earnings per share = Net income ÷ Weighted average number of outstanding shares
Let plug in the formula
Earnings per share= $441,600 ÷ (215,000 shares issued - 23 000 shares in treasury)
Earnings per share= $441,600 ÷192,000
Earnings per share= $2.30
Therefore Rye's earnings per share (EPS) is $2.30

The key points of interest and helpfulness of MPV are the different items and drive customer purchasing options.
Why would they say that they're important?
GEN TRIZ is a major vehicle for guaranteeing a distance from the market view and profit from MPV. Even the highest specialized arrangements risk a limited financial value without this view. A limited emphasis on MPV guarantees that the only focus of small R&D development assets is to improve customers' issues rather than to improve everything.
Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine producers a tax. Before the tax, 40 billion bottles of wine were sold every year at a price of $7 per bottle. After the tax, 35 billion bottles of wine are sold every year; consumers pay $9 per bottle, and producers receive $6 per bottle (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine isper bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers isper bottle, and the burden that falls on producers isper bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The amount of the tax for the wine bottle is
= $9 per bottle - $6 per bottle
= $3 per bottle
Before the tax, the price per bottle is $7 per bottle
The Tax burden on consumers is
= $9 - $7
= $2 per bottle
And, the tax burden on producers is
= $7 per bottle - $6 per bottle
= $1 per bottle
So, the given statement is false as the impact would remain the same whether it is for producer or consumer

All of the following assets require a title as proof of ownership, except: Group of answer choices Life insurance. Boat. Home. Vehicle.
Answer:
Life insurance.
Explanation:
A life insurance policy can be defined as a contract between a policyholder and an insurer, in which the insurer agrees to pay an amount of money to a specific beneficiary either upon the death of the insured person (decedent) or after a set period of time.
All of the following assets such as home, boat, vehicle require a title as proof of ownership, except a life insurance because no one person can present a proof to attest to the ownership of their life.
Simply stated, a life of an individual is abstract and as such can not be quantified or qualified by any document as a proof to be presented to another person or business entity. Thus, a life insurance cannot be used as a collateral to obtain credits or loans from a financial institution or investors.

Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are the leading competitors in the market for cola products. In 1960 Coca-Cola introduced Sprite, which today is the worldwide leader in the lemon-lime soft drink market and ranks fourth among all soft drinks worldwide. Prior to 1999, PepsiCo did not have a product that competed directly against Sprite and had to decide whether to introduce such a soft drink. By not introducing a lemon-lime soft drink, PepsiCo would continue to earn a $200 million profit, and Coca-Cola would continue to earn a $300 million profit. Suppose that by introducing a new lemon-lime soft drink, one of two possible strategies could be pursued: (1) PepsiCo could trigger a price war with Coca-Cola in both the lemon-lime and cola markets, or (2) Coca-Cola could acquiesce and each firm maintain its current 50/50 split of the cola market and split the lemon-lime market 30/70 (PepsiCo/Coca-Cola). If PepsiCo introduced a lemon-lime soft drink and a price war resulted, both companies would earn profits of $100 million. Alternatively, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo would earn $275 million and $227 million, respectively, if PepsiCo introduced a lemon-lime soft drink and Coca-Cola acquiesced and split the markets as listed above. If you were a manager at PepsiCo, would you try to convince your colleagues that introd

Direct method
Explanation:
Suppose net exports and net capital outflow are in equilibrium in a small open economy. If foreign governments adopt expansionary fiscal policy, in the small open economy the real exchange rate ____________ and net exports ____________. g
Answer:
the small open economy the real exchange rate DEPRECIATES and net exports INCREASE.
Explanation:
If the government adopts an expansionary monetary policy, then the country's currency will depreciate since a higher interest rate will result in a lower value according to the PPP thoery. When a currency depreciates, the exports become cheaper for foreign countries, so they increase. While the imports become more expensive and they decrease.
A borrows 10,000 from B and repays with 40 quarterly installments at a 4% annual effective rate. After 6 years, B sells the rights to future payments to C, at a price which yields C 6% annual effective over the remaining installment periods. What price did C pay
Answer:
$4,303.68
Explanation:
Quarterly payment = $10,000 / 32.835 (PVIFA, 1%, 40 periods) = $304.55
After 6 years, the principal due = $4,483
Present value of an annuity = payment x PVIFA = $304.55 x 14.13126 (PVIFA, 1.5%, 16 periods) = $4,303.68
The difference is not significant since the remaining payments are not many, and the increase in quarterly rate is only 0.5%
Raj & company has fixed costs of $32,500, its
contribution ratio is 65%, and is selling its
product for $20 per unit. Its contribution margin
per unit is
A. $15
B. $13
C. $18
D. Cannot calculate
Answer:
Unitary contribution margin= $13
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Contribution margin ratio= 65%
Selling price per unit= $20
To calculate the unitary contribution margin, we need to use the following formula:
Unitary contribution margin= Contribution margin ratio*selling price
Unitary contribution margin= 0.65*20
Unitary contribution margin= $13
If a company selects either of Project 1 or Project 2 (or both), then either Project 3 or Project 4 (or both) must also be selected. Which of the following constraints enforce this condition?
a. X1 + X2 ≤ 2(X3 + X4)
b. X1 + X2 ≤ X3 + X4
c. X1 − X3 = X2 − X4
d. X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 ≤ 2
Answer:
b. X1 + X2 ≤ X3 + X4
Explanation:
b. X1 + X2 ≤ X3 + X4
The situation tells us that the sum of both 1 and 2 must be equal to the sum of 3 and 4 which is true, because if both projects 1& 2 are selected then the both projects 3 & 4 must also be selected.
The rest of the choices are wrong because
a. X1 + X2 ≤ 2(X3 + X4)
The sum of projects 1& 2 is not less than 2 times sum of projects 3 & 4 .
c. X1 − X3 = X2 − X4
If we leave project 3 then project 4 cannot be left out.
d. X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 ≤ 2
any two projects out of the four cannot be chosen. 1 must be chosen from 1&2 and the other from 3 &4.
Variable $100,000 $ 25,000 Fixed 150,000 75,000 Total $250,000 $100,000 What is the initial selling price needed to obtain a target profit of $50,000 using the manufacturing cost markup method
Answer: $8.00
Explanation:
Details missing in question are:
These costs are for 50,000 units.
$250,000 is manufacturing cost. $100,000 is administrative cost.
The total manufacturing cost is shown to be $250,000 above.
A profit of $50,000 is needed in addition to this cost as well as the administrative cost of $100,000.
Total revenue expected is therefore:
= 250,000 + 100,000 + 50,000
= $400,000
50,000 units are to be sold so to make a revenue of $400,000, each unit should be sold for:
= 400,000 / 50,000
= $8.00
