Cost Reductions and Local Responsiveness
Choosing the most appropriate strategy for a firm in international business involves two essential dimensions. The firm must examine ways to reduce costs, which can be done in a number of ways. Standardization of products and components plays a very important part. Customers, however, don't always want standardized products, even if it means they will pay more.
The balance a firm seeks between the pressures for cost reduction and local responsiveness is one of the most essential determinants of the firm's strategy.
Pressures for local responsiveness imply that it may not be possible for a firm to realize the full benefits from economies of scale, learning effects, and location economies. The need to customize a product offering may work against a strategy of producing a standardized product made in a single, low-cost location. Customization may bring benefits but it limits the ability of a firm to realize significant scale and location economies. In addition, pressures for local responsiveness imply that it may not be possible to leverage skills and products associated with a firm's core competencies from country to country without additional changes.
The appropriateness of the four main strategic postures-global standardization, localization, translational with the extent of the pressures for cost reductions and local responsiveness .
As the balance between cost reduction and local responsiveness affects strategy you must know each thoroughly.

Pressure for cost reductions Pressure for local responsiveness

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Determination of points that represent pressure for cost reduction and those that represent pressure for local responsiveness:

A. Pressure for cost reductions:

3. Outsourcing  

4. Universal Needs

6. Optimal Location

8. Experience Curve

B. Pressure for local responsiveness:

1. Differences in Infrastructure

2. Differences in Preferences

  5. Distribution Channels

7. Host Government Demands

Explanation:

Local responsiveness to international strategies arises from differences in customer preferences, differences in traditional practices and infrastructure, differences in distribution channels, and from host government demands.  The rest, including the need for outsourcing, meeting universal needs, finding optimal locations, and gaining from experience curves, originate from the entity's efforts to reduce costs of products and services for market competitiveness.

CCC Company’s most recent income statement shows (in thousands of dollars) sales $2,000, interest payments $100, and net income $140. Its most recent balance sheet shows (also in thousands of dollars) total debt financing $800. If the total asset turnover ratio computed from the company’s most recent financial statements was 1.5, what would we compute return on assets (ROA) to be? (Hint: you should use the DuPont method of analysis.) A. 4.7% B. 10.5% C. 26.7% D. 18.7% E. 3.0%

Answers

Answer:

B. 10.5%

Explanation:

The computation of the return on assets is shown below:

As we know that

Return on assets = Net income ÷ total assets

where,

Total assets is

Total asset turnover = Sales ÷ Total assets

1.5 = $2,000 ÷ Total assets

So, the total assets is $1,333.33

Now the return on assets is

= $140 ÷ $1,333.33

= 10.5%

Assuming two investments have equal lives, a high discount rate tends to favor Group of answer choices the investment with even cash flow neither investment since they have equal lives the investment with large cash flow early the investment with large cash flow late

Answers

Answer:

the investment with large cash flow early

Explanation:

This can be illustrated with an example.

There are 2 investments A and B

The cash flows of A =

Cash flow in year 1 = $50,000

Cash flow in year 2 = 0

Cash flow in year 3 = 0

The cash flows of B =

Cash flow in year 1 = 0

Cash flow in year 2 = 0

Cash flow in year 3 = 50,000

Discount rate for both investment is 40%

Present value of A = $35,714.29

Pesent value for B = $18,221.57

It can be seen that the investment with the higher cash flow early has a higher present value

Suppose that you reach 65 years old, and have $100,000 in an investment that pays a return of 5 percent per year. a) If you withdraw $10,000 at the end of each year for living expenses, how many years will it take before your investment is gone

Answers

Answer:

It will take approximately 14.21 years before the investment is gone.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value or investment value = $100,000

P = Annual withdrawal = $10,000

r = return rate = 5%, or 0.05

n = number of more years it will take before the investment is gone = ?

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for n, we have:

100,000 = 10,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.05))^n) / 0.05)

100,000 / 10,000 = (1 - (1 / 1.05)^n) / 0.05

10 = (1 - (1 / 1.05)^n) / 0.05

10 * 0.05 = 1 - (1 / 1.05)^n

0.50 = 1 - (1 / 1.05)^n

(1 / 1.05)^n = 1 - 0.50

0.952380952380952^n = 0.50

Loglinearize both sides, we have:

n * log0.952380952380952 = log0.50

n = log0.50 / log0.952380952380952

n = -0.301029995663981 / -0.0211892990699382

n = 14.2066990828904

Approximating to 2 decimal places, we have:

n = 14.21

Therefore, it will take approximately 14.21 years before the investment is gone.

The number of cell phone subscribers per 1000 people is positively associated with economic progress in a coun- try. Can the number of cell phone subscribers be used to predict the HDI

Answers

Answer:

I'm not sure that the number of cell phones users per 1,000 people can be a good economic indicator. E.g. there are currently more than 1.6 billion cell phone users in China, which means that some people obviously use more than 1 cell phone (Chinese population is around 1.4 billion people). But China's HDI is 0.752 (2017) and that places China at the number 85 spot, which is really not a good place.

While other countries like Norway have less than 5 million cell phone users with a population of more than 5.35 million people. But Norway is ranked as the number 1 country in HDI.

Juanita makes $30 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her dress, so each hour away from work costs her $30 in lost income. Assume that returning to work takes Juanita the same amount of time as getting to a store and that it takes her 30 minutes to shop. As you answer the following questions, ignore the cost of gasoline and depreciation of her car when traveling.

Assume that it takes 15 minutes to travel to the local department store, 30 minutes to travel to the store across town, and 60 minutes to travel to the store in the neighboring city. Complete the following table by computing the opportunity cost of Juanita's time and the total cost of shopping at each location.

Store Opportunity Cost of Time (Dollars) Price of a Suit (Dollars per suit) Total Cost (Dollars)
Local Department Store ___________________ 114 _________
Across Town ___________________ 86 _________
Neighboring City ____________________ 60 _________

Assume that Juanita takes opportunity costs and the price of the suit into consideration when she shops. Juanita will minimize the cost of the suit of she buys it from the _____

Answers

Answer:

Juanita should purchase the suit at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest.

Explanation:

three options:

local store 15 minutes away and a price of $114 across town 30 minutes away and a price of $86 neighboring city 1 hour away and a price of $60

Juanita makes $30 per hour at her work, and her purchase decision includes the opportunity cost of lost wages:

total economic cost:

local store = $114 + [1/4 hours x 2 (round trip) x $30] + (1/2 hours x $30 spent shopping) = $144 across town = $86 + [1/2 hours x 2 (round trip) x $30] + (1/2 hours x $30 spent shopping) = $131 neighboring city = $60 + [1 hour x 2 (round trip) x $30] + (1/2 hours x $30 spent shopping) = $135

Juanita should purchase the skirt at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest ($131)

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs incurred for choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. Economic costs include both accounting costs and opportunity costs.

A year ago, Kim Altman purchased 160 shares of BLK, Inc. for $20.50 on margin. At that time the margin requirement was 40 percent. If the interest rate on borrowed funds was 12 percent and she sold the stock for $29.00, what is the percentage return on the funds she invested in the stock

Answers

Answer:

85.66%

Explanation:

Calculation for what is the percentage return on the funds she invested in the stock

First step is to calculate the Cost of the shares

Cost of the shares=160 × $20.50

Cost of the shares= $3,280

Second step is to calculate the Margin

Margin=$3,280 × 0.4

Margin= $1,312.00

Third step is to calculate the Funds borrowed

Funds borrowed= $3,280-$1,312.00

Funds borrowed= $1,968.00

Fourth Step is to calculate Interest paid

Interest paid=$1,968.00 × 0.12

Interest paid= $236.16

Fifth step is to calculate Profit on the stock

Profit on the stock=$4,640.00 - $3,280

Profit on the stock = $1,360

(160*29=$4,640.00)

Last step is to calculate the Return on the investment

Return on the investment:m= ($1,360.00 - $236.16)/$1,312.00

Return on the investment=$1,123.84/$1312.00

Return on the investment=85.66%

Therefore the percentage return on the funds she invested in the stock is 85.66%

Using the midpoint method, calculate the price elasticity of demand for Gondwanaland gosum berries. Explain what this price elasticity of demand means

Answers

Answer:

The data of the question is this:

YEAR    Gosum Berries   Price Per

             Demand             Barrel

107        700                     $70

108        600                    $84

Explanation:

The Mid-Point Formula to calculate the Price Elasticity of Demand is:

[ (Q2 - Q1) / (Q2 + Q1) / 2 ] this divided by [ (P2 - P1) / (P2 + P1) / 2 ]

where Q is demand, and P is price

Now, we plug the amounts into the formulas:

[ (600 - 700) / (600 + 700) / 2 ] = -0.038

[ (84 - 70) / (84 + 70) / 2 ] = 0.045

-0.038 / 0.045 = -0.844

Thus, the elasticity of demand for gosum berries, using the midpoint method, is -0.844, however, economists use absolute values for elasticities, so -0.844 becomes 0.844

An elasticity of demand of 0.844, which is less than one, indicates inelastic demand. This means that the quantity demanded for gosum berries falls less in proportion to raises in price.

In order worlds, the coefficient of elasticity of demand measures the price sensitivity of consumer demand for a particular good or service.

The Vaughn Inc., a manufacturer of low-sugar, low-sodium, low-cholesterol TV dinners, would like to increase its market share in the Sunbelt. In order to do so, Vaughn has decided to locate a new factory in the Panama City area. Vaughn will either buy or lease a site depending upon which is more advantageous. The site location committee has narrowed down the available sites to the following three very similar buildings that will meet their needs.

Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $615,000, useful life 28 years.
Building B: Lease for 28 years with annual lease payments of $71,570 being made at the beginning of the year.
Building C: Purchase for $659,900 cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for 28 years at a net annual rental of $6,870. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. The Vaughn Inc. has no aversion to being a landlord.

Required:
In which building would you recommend that Brubaker Inc. locate, assuming a 12% cost of funds?

Answers

Answer:

The new factory should be located in building C.

Explanation:

This can be determined by comparing the present values of the cost of the three buildings and select the one with the lowest.

Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $615,000, useful life 28 years.

Present value of cost of building A = Cost of building A = $615,000

Building B: Lease for 28 years with annual lease payments of $71,570 being made at the beginning of the year.

Since the payments are to be made are the beginning of the year, the present value of the cost of the building can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of annuity due given as follows:

PV of B = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) * (1 + r) .................................. (1)

Where ;

PV of B = Present value of the cost of building B = ?

P = Annual lease payments = $71,570

r = interest rate or cost of funds = 12%, or 0.12

n = number of years = 28

Substituting the values into equation (1) above, we have:

PV of B = $71,570 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.12))^28) / 0.12) * (1 + 0.12)

PV of B = $640,018.55

Present value of the cost of building B = $640,018.55

Building C: Purchase for $659,900 cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for 28 years at a net annual rental of $6,870. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. The Vaughn Inc. has no aversion to being a landlord.

Cost of building C =$659,900

Since the annual rental from the sublet will be received at the end of each, the present value of the sublet can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV of sublet = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (2)

Where;

PV of sublet = Present value of the annual rental from the sublet = ?

P = Annuity rental from the sublet = $6,870

r = interest rate or cost of funds = 12%, or 0.12

n = number of years = 28

Substituting the values into equation (2) above, we have:

PV of sublet = $6,870 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.12))^28) / 0.12)

PV of sublet = $54,852.98

Present value of the cost of building C = Cost of building C - PV of sublet = $659,900 - $54,852.98 = $605,047.02

Conclusion

From the calculations above, we have the following:

Present value of cost of building A = $615,000

Present value of the cost of building B = $640,018.55

Present value of the cost of building C = $605,047.02

Since $605,047.02 which is the present value of the cost of building C is the lowest, the new factory should be located in building C.

The price of milk at the local grocery store is cut by 15%. In response to the price cut, the quantity of milk demanded falls by 5%. The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for milk is _____, and the price elasticity of demand is

Answers

Answer:

the absolute value is -0.33 and it is inelastic

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The Absolute value of Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) is

= Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded ÷ Percentage Change in Price

= 0.05 ÷ (-0.15)

= -0.33

Since the price elasticity of demand is less than one so here there is an inelastic demand

Therefore the absolute value is -0.33 and it is inelastic

The absolute value is -0.33 and the price elasticity of demand is inelastic .

"Price Elasticity of Demand"

Price elasticity of demand  is the proportion of the rate alter in amount requested of a item to the rate alter in cost. Financial analysts utilize it to get it how supply and request alter when a product's cost changes.

Formula :

Absolute value of Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) = Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded ÷ Percentage Change in Price Absolute value of Price Elasticity of Demand (PED)= 0.05 ÷ (-0.15) Absolute value of Price Elasticity of Demand (PED)= -0.33

Therefore , the price elasticity of demand is less than one so here there is an inelastic demand.

So, the absolute value is -0.33 and it is inelastic demand.

Marine City Company sells bags of coffee. Each bag includes one coupon; five coupons (plus $3.00) are redeemable for a personalized coffee mug. In 2023, Marine City purchased 9,000 mugs at $4.20 each and sold 60,000 bags of coffee that year at $6.00 per bag. Marine City estimated that 50% of the coupons would be redeemed. Actual coupons redeemed were 8,000 in 2023 and 13,000 in 2024. The estimated liability for outstanding premiums on the 12/31/23 balance sheet is:

Answers

Answer:

$5,280

Explanation:

Coupon expected to be redeemed = 60000 bags * 0.50 = 30,000

Number of coffee mugs to be obtained against coupons = 30,000 / 5 = 6,000

Bags actually redeemed against coupons = 8000/5 = 1,600

Cash cost to the company = Cost of mug - Cash to be paid

Cash cost to the company = $4.20 - $3.00

Cash cost to the company = $1.20

Estimated liability = (6,000 - 1,600) * $1.20

Estimated liability = 4,400 * $1.20

Estimated liability = $5,280

So, the estimated liability for outstanding premiums on the 12/31/23 balance sheet is $5,280

The annual net sales for a huge soft drink company were 5.6 billion dollars in 2012 and sales were increasing at a continuous rate of 3.85% per year. Estimate, in billions of dollars, the annual net sales in 2016

Answers

Answer: 6.51 billion dollars

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the annual net sales for a huge soft drink company were 5.6 billion dollars in 2012 and that sales were increasing at a continuous rate of 3.85% per year.

The annual net sales in 2016 will be:

= 5.6 billion × (1 + 3.85%)^4

= 5.6 billion × (1 + 0.0385)^4

= 5.6 billion × (1.0385)^4

= 5.6 billion × 1.1631

= 6.51 billion dollars
