20) Although sounding contradictory, some firms see great benefit to orienting operations that simultaneously focus efforts on ensuring local responsiveness, aggressively reducing operational costs, and systematically transferring ideas and innovations among subsidiaries. Companies following this approach are considered to be following a(n) ________ strategy. multidomestic transnational international global
Answer:
transnational
Explanation:
A business strategy sets the overall direction for the business because it focuses on defining how a business would achieve its goals, objectives, and mission; as well as the funds and material resources required to implement or execute the business plan.
A transnational strategy can be defined as a set of planned actions through which a company focuses on establishing other branches in foreign markets. Thus, there exist some level of centralization, cooperation and interdependence between its headquarter, branches, subsidiaries and retail stores.
This ultimately implies that, a transnational strategy simply involves companies adopting the following approach;
I. Focusing efforts on ensuring local responsiveness.
II. Aggressively reducing operational costs.
III. Systematically transferring ideas and innovations among subsidiaries.
Hence, companies following the aforementioned approach are considered to be following a transnational strategy.
A company's unadjusted trial balance shows a debit balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts. This means that a. The company has written off more accounts receivable during the period than were accounted for in the opening balance of the allowance. b. The company must recognize bad debt expense at least as great as the unadjusted debit balance of the allowance. c. The company has written off too many accounts receivable and should reassess its write-off policy. d. Both a and b above are correct.
Answer:
d. Both a and b above are correct.

Xila-Fone Corp. expects to earn $4.00 per share next year, with an expected payout of 30%. Investors expect the dividend to grow at a constant rate of 8% for the foreseeable future. The risk-free rate is 5%, and the beta that is 10% more volatile than the market as a whole, and the expected return on the market is 14%. What is the estimated price of the stock
Answer:
P0 = $17.39130 rounded off to $17.39
Explanation:
The constant growth model of dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under constant growth DDM is,
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
Where,
D1 is the dividend expected in Year 1 or next yearg is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of return
However, to calculate the Price of the stock today, we must first calculate the required rate of return (r) for the stock. The required rate of return can be calculated using the CAPM equation. The equation is as follows,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free rate rM is the expected return on market
We know the risk free rate and expected return on market and we also know that the beta of market is always equal to 1. So, the beta of stock which is 10% more volatile than the market will be,
Beta of stock = 1 * 10% + 1 = 1.1
r = 0.05 + 1.1 * (0.14 - 0.05)
r = 0.149 or 14.9%
The dividend expected for next year will be,
D1 = 4 * 30% = $1.2 per share
Using the DDM,
P0 = 1.2 / (0.149 - 0.08)
P0 = $17.39130 rounded off to $17.39

Sam and Sarah are thinking about getting married. However if either of them cheats on the other, they would get a payoff of 10, while the other person gets zero. If neither cheat, they stay with each other and get a payoff of 7 each and if both cheat, the relationship falls apart and each get a payoff of 1. What is the Nash equilibrium of this game?
Answer:
Self-interest can sometimes lead to sub-optimal outcomes.
Explanation:
In the field of economics, Nash equilibrium can be defined as the system which is stable and it involves the interaction of various participants where no participant can gain by the unilateral change in its strategy if the strategies of the others does not change. In order words, the player can obtain the desired outcome by not deviating or changing from their initial strategy.
In the context, as the outcome of cheating is more than staying together, both Sam and Sarah will tend to cheat and then end up achieving less payoff then what they will get if they stay together.
Therefore, sometimes, self interest can lead to the sub optimal outcomes.

Answer:
COGS= $886,530
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the unitary production cost:
unitary production cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead
unitary production cost= (6*2) + (2.9*21) + (2.9*10)
unitary production cost= $101.9
Now, the cost of goods sold:
COGS= number of units sold*unitary production cost
COGS= 8,700*101.9
COGS= $886,530

Rhein Manufacturing recorded operating data for its auto accessories division for the year. Sales $750,000 Contribution margin 150,000 Total direct fixed costs 90,000 Average total operating assets 400,000 How much is ROI for the year if management is able to identify a way to improve the contribution margin by $30,000, assuming fixed costs are held constant
Answer:
Return On Investment = 22.5%
Explanation:
Given:
Sales = $750,000
Contribution margin = $150,000
Total direct fixed costs = $90,000
Average total operating assets = $400,000
Find:
Return On Investment if contribution margin increase by $30,000
Computation:
Net operating income = Contribution margin - Total direct fixed costs
Net operating income = [$150,000 + $30,000] - $90,000
Net operating income = $90,000
Return On Investment = [Net operating income / Net operating assets]100
Return On Investment = [90,000 / 400,000]100
Return On Investment = [0.225]100
Return On Investment = 22.5%

Abbott, Inc., plans to issue $500,000 of ten percent bonds that will pay interest semiannually and mature in five years. Assume that the effective interest rate is 12 percent per year compounded semiannually. Calculate the selling price of the bonds. Round answers to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
$463,202.25
Explanation:
The calculation of the selling price of the bond is given below:
The selling price of the bonds is
= Present value of interest + Present value of maturity
where,
In semi-annually basis , the rate of interest would be divided by 2 and the time period would be double
So, The Present value of interest equals to
= $500,000 × 5% × 7.36009
= $184,002.25
The 7.36009 represent PVIFA factor. Refer to the PVIFA table for the same
And, the Present value of maturity is
= $500,000 × 0.5584
= $279,200
So, the selling price of the bond is
= $184,002.25 + $279,200
= $463,202.25
The ending balance of accounts receivable was $84,000. Sales, adjusted to a cash basis using the direct method on the statement of cash flows, were $369,000. Sales reported on the income statement were $400,500. Based on this information, the beginning balance in accounts receivable was:
Answer: $52500
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the beginning balance in accounts receivable will be calculated thus:
= Ending balance of account receivable + Sales adjusted to cahs basis - Sales reported on income statement
= $84000 + $369000 - $400500
= $52500
Therefore, the beginning balance in account receivable is $52500.
