Firms face competing pressures in the marketplace-how to achieve lower costs through proven approaches to production, while looking at how to maximize their effectiveness in local markets. A firm's choice of strategy must reflect these pressures, and the firm knows that the dynamics of competition may require changes in strategy. Pressures for local responsiveness mean that a firm may not be able to realize the full benefits from economies of scale, learning effects, and location economies. Customization of products brings benefits, but it also limits the firm's ability to realize significant scale economies and location economies. Companies generally choose from four main strategic postures: a global standardization strategy, a localization strategy, a transnational strategy, or an international strategy. The appropriateness of each strategy varies given the competitive realities and the firm's core competences.
Read the case below and answer the questions that follow.
Your firm has been a leader in several lines of fast-moving consumer goods. The firm has been following a localization strategy. Your products have been distributed in a number of foreign markets and regions, and they are distinct enough in local markets to respond to national tastes and preferences. Competition, however, has become more intense, with many competitors using lower cost structures to undercut your prices and still satisfy your customers.
The firm must decide what kind of strategy it needs to follow to meet the demands of the local markets as well as the increased competitive pressures on cost.
a. leverage skills and products associated with a firm's core competencies from one country to another.
b. monitor and adapt to changing customer tastes in a large number of foreign markets.
c. compete effectively in more than one international market.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. leverage skills and products associated with a firm's core competencies from one country to another.

Explanation:

Company A can still meet the demands of the local markets and the competitive pressures it is facing by utilizing its core competences and deploring its products internationally.  A hybrid of localization and international strategies would be more appropriate.  This hybrid approach will enable the company "to realize the full benefits from economies of scale and learning effects, without losing on location economies," as desired in the case study.

Marconi Co. has the following information available for the current year: Net Sales $ 765,000 Bad Debt Expense 45,000 Accounts Receivable, Beginning of Year 135,000 Accounts Receivable, End of Year 70,000 Allowance For Doubtful Accounts, Beginning of Year 57,000 Allowance For Doubtful Accounts, End of Year 77,000 What was the amount of write-offs during the year?

Answers

Answer:

$25,000

Explanation:

When there is a movement in allowance for bad debt account, it is usually as a result of bad debts and bad debts already written off.

The amount of write offs during the year is computed as follows;

Amount write off = Beginning allowance for doubtful accounts + Bad debt expenses - Closing allowance for doubtful accounts

= $57,000 + $45,000 - $77,000

= $25,000

Therefore, the amount of write offs during the year is $25,000

155 million people were working in the US in 2016. If 42% of all people working were baby boomers, how many were working in 2016? If 15% of the baby boomers retire within 10 years, how many jobs will this represent from 2016 employment?​

Answers

Answer:

65,100,100 baby boomers were working: 6.3 %

Explanation:

In 2016, 155,000,000 people were working.

42 percent were baby boomers,

The actual number of baby boomers were

= 42/100 x 155,000,000

=0.42 x 155,000,000

=65,100,100 baby boomers were working

If 15 percent of baby boomers were to retire in 10 years

The number ow retirees will

=15% of 65,100,100

=15/100 x 65,100,100

=0.15 x 65,100,100

=9, 765,015

As a percentage of the number of people working in 2016

= 9, 765,015/155,000,000 x 100

=0.0630000 x 100

=6.3 %

Alpha Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $8.2 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.93 million per year for 6 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 5.67% and a cost of equity of 11.31%. The debt-equity ratio is 0.62 and the tax rate is 21%. What is the net present value of the project

Answers

Answer:

$347,941.73

Explanation:

First, find the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). WACC is the minimum return that a project must offer before it can be accepted. It is thus used to discount the future cash flows of a project to its Present Value.

WACC = Ke × E/V + Kd × D/V

where,

Ke = cost of equity

    = 11.31%

E/V = Market Weight of Equity

      = (1/1.62 × 100)

      = 61.73%

Kd = After tax cost of debt

     = 5.67% × ( 1  - 0.21)

     = 4.48 %

D/V = Market Weight of Debt

      = 0.65/1.65 × 100

      = 39.40%

Therefore,

WACC =  11.31% × 0.6773 + 4.48 % × 0.3940

           = 9.43 %

Next, find the net present value of the project using a financial calculator as follows :

CFj -$8,200,000

CFj $1,930,000

CFj $1,930,000

CFj $1,930,000

CFj $1,930,000

CFj $1,930,000

i/yr =  9.43 %

Shift NPV = $347,941.73

If the risk-free rate of return is 6%, and if a risky asset is available with a return of 9% and a standard deviation of 3%, what is the maximum rate of return you can achieve if you are willing to accept a standard deviation of 2%

Answers

Answer:

8.01%

Explanation:

If risk-free rate of return is 6%

if a risky asset is available with a return of 9%

If standard deviation of the portfolio is 2%.

Portfolio Return if S.D. is 2% = 0.33*6% + 0.67*9%

Portfolio Return =  0.33*0.06 + 0.67*0.09

Portfolio Return = 0.0198 + 0.0603

Portfolio Return = 0.0801

Portfolio Return = 8.01%

Hence, the he maximum rate of return we can achieve if we are willing to accept a standard deviation of 2% is 8.01%

Slaq Computer Company manufactures notebook computers. The economic lifetime of a particular model is only four to six months, which means that Slaq has very little time to make adjustments in production capacity and supplier contracts over the production run. For a soon-to-be-introduced notebook, Slaq must negotiate a contract with a supplier of motherboards. Because supplier capacity is tight, this contract will specify the number of motherboards in advance of the start of the production run. At the time of contract negotiation, Slaq has forecasted that demand for the new notebook is normally distributed with a mean (�) of 10,000 units and a standard deviation (�) of 2,500 units. The net profit from a notebook sale is $500 (note that this includes the cost of the motherboard, as well as all other material; production, and shipping costs). (Hint: �! = $500) Motherboards cost $200 and have no salvage value (i.e., if they are not used for this particular model of notebook, they will have to be written off). (Hint: �" = $200) Use the news vendor model to compute a purchase quantity of motherboards that balances the cost of lost sales and the cost of excess material.

Answers

Answer:

11414.87205 units.

Explanation:

We have Underage cost cs to be $500

We have Overage cost Co to be $200

To get Critical fractile, we do this computation:

Cs/(Cs+Co)

500/(500+200)

500/700

0.714285714

Now the z score for this value,

normsinv(0.714285714)

= 0.565948821

To get what the question requires: mean+z-score*standard deviation

= 10000+(0.565948821*2500)

= 11414.87205 units

please note: I solved this without rounding the values.

We will have 10000+(0.57*2500)=11425 units if rounded

Slamburger's sells three cheeseburgers for every three regular hamburgers. A cheeseburger sells for $4.75 with a variable cost of $2.00. A regular hamburger sells for $4.25 with a variable cost of $1.75. What is the weighted average contribution margin

Answers

Answer:

$2.63

Explanation:

The computation of the weighted average contribution margin is shown below:-

Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable costs

For cheeseburger

= $4.75 - $2.00

= $2.75

For regular hamburger

= $4.25 - $1.75

= $2.5

Weighted average Contribution margin = Respective Contribution margin × Respective mix

= ($2.75 × 3) ÷ 6 + ($2.5 × 3) ÷ 6

= $1.38 + $1.25

= $2.63

Answers

Answer:

The solution can be defined as follows:

Explanation:

In the question, there are multiple choices that are defined, in which except the first three choices other are belong to a different topic, that's why we define only three choices.

In option 1:

There can be relationships between both the organization or managers as leaders assign making decisions with managers. This same relation could lead to conflicts between both the parties concerned. The said conflict is named an issue/confrontation agency. The confrontation between both the supervisors and employees and between owners and creditors may also exist.

There would be no dispute with both the department. Its reason for this is that organization conflict may occur unless the business owner does not hold 100% of the common stock of a corporation.

In that case, they will manage the operations of your company as the sole employee. Users will have the right to obtain all revenue earned from the company. It will keep owning 100% of a greater corporate share because you put the money in the company. There have been no external agencies that borrow. There will be no chance of every confrontation.

In option 2:

Yeah, once you recruit people to take on responsibilities or give them their proper decision-making authority, the conflict and you and your workers will occur. Disagreements may well be caused by differences of opinions or even by the sharing of profits you would have the right to receive when you operated together.

In option 3:

\Yeah, it can result in conflicts with the organization to hold shares out to buyers. Scandals among shareholders and managers and between borrowers and shareholders and between management, shareholders and debt holders may arise as a type of conflict.

A man invests his savings in two accounts, one paying 6 percent and the other paying 10 percent simple interest per year. He puts twice as much in the lower-yielding account because it is less risky. His annual interest is 4202 dollars. How much did he invest at each rate?

Answers

Answer:

Amount at 6% = $38,200Amount at 10% = $19,100

Explanation:

Assume x is the amount in the 10% account.

The formula to solve would be;

(2x * 6%) + x * 10% = 4,202

0.12x + 0.1x = 4,202

0.22x = 4,202

x = 4,202/0.22

x = $19,100

The amount he invested at 6% is therefore;

= 19,100 * 2

= $38,200

Joker stock has a sustainable growth rate of 10 percent, ROE of 12 percent, and dividends per share of $1.30. If the PE ratio is 17.0, what is the value of a share of stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:value of a share of stock=$132.57

Explanation:

Sustainable growth rate =  Retention ratio x ROE

= ROE X (1-Payout ratio)

10% = 12% x 1-payout ratio

10%/12%= 1-payout ratio

0.8333= 1-payout ratio

payout ratio= 1- 0.833=0.1667= 16.67%

Dividend payout ratio= dividend per share/Earnings per share

16.67%=$1.30/ earning per share

Earnings per share =1.30/ 16.67%=  $7.7984

Value of a share of stock using the P/E ratio

P/E ratio= value of stock / Earning per share

17= value of stock/earning per share

value of stock= 17 x 7.7984= $132.57

On September 1 of the current year, Scots Company experienced a flood that destroyed the company's entire inventory. Because the company had not completed its month end reporting for August, it must estimate the amount of inventory lost using the gross profit method. At the beginning of August, the company reported beginning inventory of $215,950. Inventory purchased during August was $192,730. Net sales for the month of August were $543,500. Assuming the company's typical gross profit ratio is 40%.

Required:
Estimate the amount of inventory destroyed in the flood.

Answers

Answer:

$82,580

Explanation:

We can calculate the estimated amount of inventory destroyed in the flood by deducting the cost of goods sold by the cost of goods available for sale.

DATA

Beginning Inventory  = $215,950  

Inventory purchased  = $192,730

 Sales = $543,500

Calculation

Inventory destroyed  Iestimated) =    Cost of Goods available for sale - Cost of Goods Sold

Inventory destroyed  Iestimated) =  $408,680  - $326,100

Inventory destroyed  Iestimated) = $82,580

Working

Cost of Goods available for sale  = Beginning Inventory + Inventory purchased

Cost of Goods available for sale = $215,950   + $192,730

  Cost of Goods available for sale = $408,680

Cost of Goods Sold  = Sales  - Gross Profits

Cost of Goods Sold = $543,500  - ($543400 x 40%)

Cost of Goods Sold = $ 326,100

The ultimate goal of operations management is to provide high-quality goods and services instantaneously in response to customer demand. Over the years, low cost often came at the expense of quality and flexibility. Furthermore, suppliers didn't always deliver when they said they would, so manufacturers had to carry large inventories of raw materials and components to keep producing. Such inefficiencies made U.S. companies vulnerable to foreign competitors who were using more advanced production techniques As a result of new global competition, companies have had to make a wide variety of high-quality custom-designed products at a very low cost. Something had to change on the production floor to make that possible. Several major developments have made U.S.companies more competitive:
(1) computer-aided design and manufacturing
(2) flexible manufacturing,
(3) lean manufacturing, and
(4) mass customization,
(5) CAD
(6) CAM
Match the company or role with the most appropriate manufacturing technique.
Dress designer: In addition to helping in the design of products, the use of this system allows designers to work in three dimensions
Shoe designer: The manufacturer programs the computer to make a simple design change, and then that change is readily Incorporated into production
Purse designer: Software programs unite these two computer-aided support systems. While the software is expensive, it cuts as much as 80 percent of the time needed to program machines to make parts.
Motor starters: Orders come in daily and, within 24 hours, the company's machines and robots manufacture, test, and package the starters-which are untouched by human hands. This system is so efficient it can even accommodate a special order (even a single item) in the assembly without slowing down the process.
Toyota corporation: This company utilizes the strategy of using half the human effort, halving the defects in the finished product, using one-third of the normal engineering effort, using half the floor space, and carrying 90 percent less inventory
Dell computers: Dell has set up its manufacturing process so that all its computers can be quickly assembled to individual customer orders.

Puffin Industries acquired all of Sunset Coast Digital's stock on January 1, 2014, for $3,500,000, $2,100,000 in excess of book value. At that time, Sunset Coast's inventory (LIFO) was overvalued by $500,000 and its plant assets (10-year life) were overvalued by $1,000,000. The remaining excess of cost over book value is attributed to undervalued identifiable intangible assets being amortized over 20 years. Sunset Coast depreciates plant assets and amortizes intangibles by the straight-line method. During 2014 and 2015, Sunset Coast reported total net income of $650,000 and paid out 50 percent in dividends. Puffin carries its investment in Sunset Coast using the complete equity method. Sunset Coast's inventory increased each year since it was acquired by Puffin, and Sunset Coast's reported net income for 2016 was $200,000, and dividends totaled 50 percent of reported income.

Pilot plus Pens is deciding when to replace its old machine. The old machine’s current salvage value is $2 million. Its current book value is $1 million. If not sold, the old machine will require maintenance costs of $400,000 at the end of the year, for the next five years. Depreciation on the old machine is $200,000 per year. At the end of five years, the old machine will have salvage value of $200,000 and a book value of $0. A replacement machine costs $3 million now and requires maintenance costs of $500,000 at the end of each year during its economic life of five years. At the end of five years, the new machine will have a salvage value of $500,000. It will be fully depreciated by the straight-line method. In five years, a replacement machine will cost $3,500,000. Pilot will need to purchase this machine regardless of what the choice it makes today. The corporate tax rate is 34% and the appropriate discount rate is 12%.

Southern Rim Parts estimates its manufacturing overhead to be $418,500 and its direct labor costs to be $930,000 for year 1. The first three jobs that Southern Rim worked on had actual direct labor costs of $52,000 for Job 301, $77,000 for Job 302, and $110,000 for Job 303. For the year, actual manufacturing overhead was $464,000 and total direct labor cost was $847,000. Manufacturing overhead is applied to jobs on the basis of direct labor costs using pre-determined rates.
Required:
A. How much overhead was assigned to each of the three jobs, 301, 302, and 303?
B. What was the over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead for year 1?

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 418,500/930,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.45 per direct labor dollar

Now, we can allocate overhead yo Job 301, 302, 303:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Job 301= 0.45*52,000= $23,400

Job 302= 0.45*77,000= $34,650

Job 303= 0.45*110,00= $49,500

Finally, we allocate overhead for the whole company and calculate the under/over allocation:

Allocated MOH= 0.45*847,000= $381,150

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

Under/over applied overhead= 464,000 - 381,150

Under/over applied overhead= $82,850 underallocated

To compute the date, you can use this algorithm, invented by the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1800: 1. Let y be the year (such as 1800 or 2001). 2. Divide y by 19 and call the remainder a. Ignore the quotient. 3. Divide y by 100 to get a quotient b and a remainder c. 4. Divide b by 4 to get a quotient d and a remainder e. 5. Divide 8 * b 13 by 25 to get a quotient g. Ignore the remainder. 6. Divide 19 * a b - d - g 15 by 30 to get a remainder h. Ignore the quotient. 7. Divide c by 4 to get a quotient j and a remainder k. 8. Divide a 11 * h by 319 to get a quotient m. Ignore the remainder. 9. Divide 2 * e 2 * j - k - h m 32 by 7 to get a remainder r. Ignore the quotient. 10. Divide h - m r 90 by 25 to get a quotient n. Ignore the remainder. 11. Divide h - m r n 19 by 32 to get a remainder p. Ignore the quotient. Then Easter falls on day p of month n. For example, if y is 2001: a = 6 h = 18 n = 4b = 20, c = 1 j = 0, k = 1 p = 15d = 5, e = 0 m = 0 g = 6 r = 6Therefore, in 2001, Easter Sunday fell on April 15.
