n the context of competing in the global economy, globalization suggests that: a. an organization's nationality is held strongly in consciousness. b. the world's cultural diversity is of no significance to transnational organizations. c. the world is divided by borders and diverse cultures. d. the world is free from national boundaries and is borderless
Answer:
d. the world is free from national boundaries and is borderless
Explanation:
Globalisation is defined as the increase in connectivity between different nations as a result of increased volume of trade and culture exchange that occurs between the nations.
Such increase in inter connectivity leads to a global economy where national borders do not seem to exist.
Globalisation reduces the cumbersome process of having to pay various charges when transacting between countires
Fatima is a regional sales manager and has decided that each member of the sales team must increase his or her current sales figures by 80% within two months if they want to remain with the company. Overall, the economy for the industry has dropped dramatically and she has decided this is the best way to motivate her sales team. Which aspect of the marketing objective is Fatima failing to recognize

Marketing objectives are set to meet up with the goals of the business. Which isnto.ake profit.
The SMART approach to marketing objectives are outline below. The marketing objectives should be;
- Specific, that is a particular objective should be set. In this case Fatima has set 80% increase on current sales figures.
- Measurable, that is the objective should be quantifiable. 80% of the current performance is measurable.
- Achievable, means that the objective should be within a reasonable scope. Targets should not be set too high.
In this case the economy for the industry has dropped dramatically, so setting objective of 80% sales increase on current performance is most likely not achievable.
- Realistic, are there sufficient personel and resources to achieve the goal.
- Time specific, it must be within a defined time period. In this case 2 months was set to achieve the objective.

= $84,200
hence, the amount that should present the note in year 2 is $84,200
Banks use a large percentage of their checkable deposits for the purpose of __________.
A.
paying interest
B.
giving loans
C.
employee salaries
D.
maintaining reserves
the answer is D
Answer:
B. giving loans
Explanation:
The reserve requirement system requires commercial banks to maintain a small fraction of their deposits as a reserve. Only a small percentage of the checkable deposits is required to be held in the banks as reserves. The reserves requirement fractions vary with the monetary policy in place.
The percentage of reserve requirement ranges from 3% to 10%. It would hardly get to 20%. The rest other bigger percentage ( over 80%) is available to be used to create loans.

On April 1, Cyclone's Co. purchases a trencher for $314,000. The machine is expected to last five years and have a salvage value of $57,000. Exercise 8-11 Straight-line, partial-year depreciation LO C2 Compute depreciation expense at December 31 for the first and second year assuming the company uses the straight-line method.
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $51,400
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $314,000
Salvage value= $57,000
Useful life= 5 years
To calculate the depreciation expense under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (314,000 - 57,000) / 5
Annual depreciation= $51,400
The depreciation expense is the same every year.
The Harris company has 3 options for a new production process. A Labor-Intensive process (A) would cost $350,000 for equipment and $35 for labor and materials for each item produced. A More Automated process (B) costs $970,000 in equipment but has a labor/material cost of $30 per item produced. A Fully Automated process (C) costs $2,510,000 for equipment and $22 per item produced. Based solely on cost, for what range of production should process B be chosen
Answer:
B is more profitable when the production level is higher than 124,000 units, but lower than 192,500
Explanation:
the difference between B and A per unit = $5
the difference in investment = $970,000 - $350,000 = $620,000
B is more profitable when total output is higher than $620,000 / $5 = 124,000 units
the difference between C and A = $8
the difference in investment = $2,510,000 - $970,000 = $1,540,000
C is more profitable when total output is higher than $1,540,000 / $8 = 192,500 units

Eaton Tool Company has fixed costs of $407,400, sells its units for $90, and has variable costs of $48 per unit. a. Compute the break-even point. b. Ms. Eaton comes up with a new plan to cut fixed costs to $320,000. However, more labor will now be required, which will increase variable costs per unit to $51. The sales price will remain at $90. What is the new break-even point
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the break even point is given below
As we know that
Break even point is
= (Fixed cost) ÷ (Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit)
a. Break even point is
= ($407,400) ÷ ($90 - $48)
= 9,700 units
b. The break even point is
= ($320,000) ÷ ($90 - $51)
= 8,205 units
Direct labor or machine hours may not be the appropriate cost driver for overhead in all areas of manufacturing due to the complexities of many manufacturing processes. Many companies use activity-based costing (ABC) which uses multiple drivers (items that consume resources) rather than just one driver to apply overhead to their activities. With ABC, a company can use a cost driver that has a direct cause/effect relationship in its applied overhead costs.
Waterways looked into ABC as a method of costing because of the variety of items it produces and the many different activities in which it is involved.
Using the following information, determine the overhead rates and the actual cost assigned for each of the activity cost pools in a possible ABC system for Waterways. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.)

Jessica is a U.S. Army Reservist and in 2020 traveled 130 miles each way to serve duty at a local military installation. She was required to report four times in 2020. Her normal route from home to the base included a $1.75 toll each way. Jessica's for AGI deduction for these costs is:
Answer:
AGI Deduction = 580.8 US dollars.
Explanation:
Solution:
Data Given:
Miles traveled = 130 miles
Reporting Period = 4 times in 2020
Cost from home to base = $1.75 toll each way.
Jessica's for AGI deduction for these costs is:
First, we need to find the travel amount:
Travel amount = Miles x Reporting Period x 2 x Mileage rate for deduction
Here, mileage rate for deduction = 0.545 per mile. So,
Travel Amount = 130 miles x 4 times x 2 x 0.545
Travel Amount = 566.8 US dollars.
Now, we need to find the Jessica's Toll Expenses.
Toll Expenses = 1.75 x 2 x 4 times
Toll Expenses = 14 US dollars.
Finally, we can find the required AGI Deduction:
AGI Deduction = Travel Amount + Toll Expenses.
AGI Deduction = 566.8 US dollars + 14 US dollars
Hence, Jessica's AGI deductions are:
AGI Deduction = 580.8 US dollars.
A supply curve is upward-sloping because At higher prices sellers have a greater incentive to produce more, ceteris paribus. The law of supply states that as price rises, the quantity supplied increases. At lower prices sellers may not be covering their costs of production and are therefore willing to supply less. All of the answers are correct.
Answer:
All of the answers are correct.
Explanation:
The law of supply states that in a production process when the price of. Commodity increases the suppliers are more willing to supply more goods, while when price falls suppliers tend to supply less goods.
This is as a result of lower motivation to sell at a lower price where profit margins are low. The higher the price the more the profit made so they are more motivated.
Also when prices are too low the suppliers may barely cover their cost of production so they tend to supply less.
Attached is a diagram of the supply curve

Michael's, Inc., just paid $2.60 to its shareholders as the annual dividend. Simultaneously, the company announced that future dividends will be increasing by 5.6 percent. If you require a rate of return of 9.8 percent, how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock
Answer:
$65.37
Explanation:
Calculation for how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock
Using this formula
P/0 = D0 ( 1 + g ) / R-g
Let plug in the formula
P/0 = $2.60 (1 + .056) / .098 - .056
P/0 = $2.60 (1 .056)/0.042
P/0=$2.7456/0.042
P/0=$65.37
Therefore how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock will be $65.37
Why is it important to select products and services that represent best value for money
Answer:
Too low of a price means you forgo potential profits. The most important factor in product price setting is choosing a price low enough that customers perceive they are getting a good value relative to what your competitors are offering and the prices they are charging -- but yet high enough to generate a profit.
Explanation:
There are a number of statistics computed to measure the price level, such as the GDP deflator and the CPI. The choice of which of these measures to use depends in many cases on the specific question in which you are interested. For each of the following situations, state whether the CPI or GDP deflator is a more appropriate measure to use and explain why the statistic is preferred.
Question Completion:
a. You are interested in looking at the impact of higher prices of imported oil in the overall cost of living.
b. The government is interested in whether increases in defense spending are affecting the price level.
c. An economic consulting firm is investigating the impact on the aggregate price level of more computers and electronic technology used in production.
Answer:
The GDP Deflator and the CPI
a. The CPI is used here, as its measure is not restricted to domestically produced goods and services.
b. The GDP Deflator is more appropriate here. Defense spending is not related to consumer goods and services but to government spending, which is a component of the GDP.
c. The GDP Deflator is more appropriate with this investigation. Computers and electronic technology used in production relate to business Investments, which are a component of the GDP and are not part of consumer goods and services or a component of the CPI.
Explanation:
The GDP deflator is exclusively used to measure the prices of all goods and services produced domestically in an economy and is based on the nominal or real GDP. On the other hand, the CPI (Consumer Price Index) is used to measure the weighted average prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, whether produced domestically or imported.
Jose has the opportunity to invest in a scheme which will pay $5000 at the end of each of the next 5 years. He must invest $10,000 at the start of the first year and an additional $10,000 at the end of the first year. What is the present value of this investment if the interest rate is 8%?
Answer: $19963.6
Explanation:
The present value of this investment if the interest rate is 8% would be gotten by using the formula below;
PV = PMT/[r × (1+r)^n / (1+r)^n -1]
PV = 5000[8% × (1+8%)^5 / (1+8%)^5-1
PV = 5000[0.08 + 1.08^5 / 1.08^4
PV = 19963.6
Therefore, the present value of the investment is 19963.6
