Should the firms' overseas operations be judged by the standards (legal, economic, cultural, and moral) of the country in which it is operating or should they be judged by the standards of the U.S. market?

Answer: Standards of the country they operate in

Explanation:

Various countries have differing norms on what is legally, socially, morally and culturally acceptable. In order to be able to operate in those countries, companies would have to adapt to these requirements in order to maximize business operations.

It would therefore be illogical to judge these overseas operations in terms of the U.S. market which would be different from them. They should be judged on their own merit and then a standardizing factor can be used to relate them to the U.S. market to see whether they are performing well given their unique circumstances.

When interest is compounded continuously, the amount of money increases at a rate proportional to the amount S present at time t, that is, dS/dt=rS, where r is the annual rate of interest.
a) Find the amount of money accrued at the end of 5 years when $6000 is deposited in a savings account drawing 534% annual interest compounded continuously. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
b) In how many years will the initial sum deposited have doubled? (Round your answer to the nearest year.)
c) Use a calculator to compare the amount obtained in part a) with the amount S=6000(1+14(0.0575))5(4) that is accrued when interest is compounded quarterly. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
