4. Giving specific examples of global companies, discuss the following concepts which are contemporary issues of concern to Global Businesses: a) Corporate Social Responsibility b) Off-shoring c) Business Sustainability

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Corporate Social Responsibility

This is a type of international private business that is self-regulated which helps a company to become socially responsible, that is, giving back to the society through philanthropic activities which may include volunteer work or environmental activism.

b) Off-Shoring

Offshoring is simply taking advantage of difference in the cost of production or labor to relocate a business to another country in order to get cheaper labor for manufacturing operations.

Typically, it moves the production of materials from a country where such materials are expensive to another country where the materials are cheap in order to save costs.

c) Business Sustainability

This is simply taking care of all the major facets of a business in order to ensure that the success they have enjoyed in the past is sustained.

These facets could include management of social and economic demands to ensure optimal performance.

A business that is sustainable has a very little negative impact, rather it impacts its immediate environment positively.

Answers

Answer:

charge the broker with discrimination with no further evidence

Explanation:

It is mandatory for a broker who markets dwelling for rent or sale to display fair housing poster in his or her office or at any dwelling meant for rent or sale. This is according to the Department of Housing and Urban development (HUD) that brokers who market dwelling should display such where they can be easily seen by persons who need the service of the broker to list or locate a dwelling or purchase same in a residential area.

However, where a broker fails to paste the fair housing poster, he will not be subjected to any penalty but may be charged with discrimination by the federal fair housing investigator.

At the beginning of 2021, Angel Corporation began offering a two-year warranty on its products. The warranty program was expected to cost Angel 8% of net sales. Net sales made under warranty in 2021 were $212 million. Fifteen percent of the units sold were returned in 2021 and repaired or replaced at a cost of $5.20 million. The amount of warranty expense on Angel's 2021 income statement is:

Answers

Answer:

$16.96 million

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of warranty expense is shown below:

= Net sales made under warranty in year 2021 × expected cost percentage to net sales

= $212 million × 0.08

= $16.96 million

We simply multiplied the net sales with the expected cost percentage so that the amount of warranty expense could come and the same is to be considered

The following data are available for June: Actual quantity of direct materials purchased 24,000 pounds Standard price of direct materials $ 6.00 per pound Material price variance $ 6,000 Unfavorable Material quantity variance $ 2,400 Favorable The actual price per pound of direct materials purchased in June was:

Answers

Answer:

$6.25

Explanation:

Given the data below from the above information,

The actual quantity of direct materials purchased 24,000 pounds

Standard price of direct materials price $6 per pound

Material price variance unfavorable -$6,000

Material quantity variance $2,400

Therefore;

Direct material price Variance = (Standard price - Actual price) × Actual quantity

- $6,000 = ($6 - Actual price ) × 24,000

-$6,000 = $144,000 - 24,000 AP

24,000 AP = $144,000 + $6,000

24,000 AP = $150,000

AP = $6.25

"A customer holds 10 ABC Jan 60 Call contracts. ABC Corporation is paying a 20% stock dividend. On the ex date, the contracts will show as:"

Answers

Answer:

On the ex date, the contracts will show as:

10 ABC Jan 60 Calls

The customer must exercise call contracts to buy the stock prior to the Ex-Date

Explanation:

The reason is that if the customer is not exercising the call contracts then it will not be able to receive the stock dividend. Furthermore, the OCC doesn't adjust the contract because of the dividend announcement prior to exercise of contract. This means it will only adjust if the contract is exercised.

The settlement of the exercise takes around 2 business working days, hence the customer must exercise the option 2 days earlier to the ex-date.

At an output level of 415,400 units, you have calculated that the degree of operating leverage is 2.00. The operating cash flow is $58,000 in this case. Ignore the essect of taxes. What will be the new degree of operating leverage for output levels of 16,400 units and 14,400 units

Answers

Answer:

the new degree of operating leverage for output levels of 16,400 units and 14,400 units will be -0.0858  and - 0.0745 respectively.

Explanation:

From the given information:

the degree of operating the leverage at 415,400 units = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{contribution \ \ margin}{operating \ \ income}}[/tex]

where contribution margin = 2 × 58000 =116000

If we assume that the sales price should be p and the variable cost  be q per unit .

Then, 415,400p - 415,400q = 116000

p - q = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{116000}{415400}}[/tex]

p - q = 0.279  at 415400 unit

Contribution margin = 415400 × 0.279

Contribution margin = 115896.6

The operating income = contribution margin - fixed expense

58000 = 115896.6 - fixed expense

fixed expense = 115896.6 - 58000

fixed expense = 57896.6

However, when the output level is 16400 unit,

the contribution margin = 16400(p-q)

the contribution margin =  16400(0.279)

the contribution margin = 4575.6

The operating leverage = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{contribution \ \ margin}{contribution \ \ margin - fixed \ \ costs}}[/tex]

The operating leverage = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{4575.6}{4575.6 - 57896.6}}[/tex]

The operating leverage = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{4575.6}{-53321}}[/tex]

The operating leverage = -0.0858

when the output level is 14400 unit,

the contribution margin = 14400(p-q)

the contribution margin =  14400(0.279)

the contribution margin = 4017.6

The operating leverage = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{contribution \ \ margin}{contribution \ \ margin - fixed \ \ costs}}[/tex]

The operating leverage = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{4017.6}{4017.6 - 57896.6}}[/tex]

The operating leverage = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{4017.6}{-53879}}[/tex]

The operating leverage = - 0.0745

Nordstrom, Inc. operates department stores in numerous states. Suppose selected financial statement data (in millions) for 2020 are presented below.

Inventory 1,800 1,800
Other current assets 636 591
Total current assets $7,860 $6,331
Total current liabilities $3,930 $3,122

Instructions:
Compute the current ratio, current cash debt coverage, accounts receivable turnover, average collection period, inventory turnover, and days in inventory at the end of the current year.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:-

1. Current ratio is

= Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities

= $7,860 ÷ $3,930

= 2

2. Current cash debt coverage is

= Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities ÷ Average Current Liabilities

Average Current Liabilities = ($3,930 + $3,122) ÷ 2

= $3,526

Current Cash Debt Coverage Ratio = $1,251 ÷ $3,526

= 25.48%

3. Accounts receivable turnover is

= Net Credit Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivables

= $8,258 ÷ (($4,000 + $3,800) ÷ 2)

= $8,258 ÷ $3,900

= 2.12 times

4. Average collection period is

= 365 ÷ Account Receivable Turnover

= 365 ÷ 2.12

= 172.17

5. Inventory Turnover is

= Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory

= $5,328 ÷ ((1,800 + 1,800) ÷ 2

= $5,328 ÷ 1,800

= 2.96

6. Days in Inventory is

= 365 ÷ Inventory Turnover Ratio

= 365 ÷ 2.96

= 123.31 days

At an annual effective interest rate of 6.3%, an annuity immediate with 4N level annual payments of 1,000 has a present value of 14,113. Determine the fraction of the total present value represented by the first set of N payments and the third set of N payments combined.

Answers

Answer:

the % of the present value that corresponds to the first 9 payments (N) =  47.57% of the annuity's present value.

the % of the present value that corresponds to the first 27 payments (3N) =  90.86% of the annuity's present value.

Explanation:

we must use the present value of an annuity formula:

PV = annual payment x annuity factor

14,113 = 1,000 x annuity factor

annuity factor = 14,113 / 1,000 = 14.133

we know that the interest rate is 6.3%, now using an annuity calculator we can determine that the total number of periods is 36. The exact factor is 14.11322, but we can round to 14.113

the first set would represent 36/4 = 9 years

the % of the present value that corresponds to the first 9 payments (N) = PV = 1,000 x 6.71376 (PV annuity factor, 6.3%, 9 periods) = 6,713.76. This corresponds to 6,713.76 / 14,113 = 47.57% of the annuity's present value.

the % of the present value that corresponds to the first 27 payments (3N)  = PV = 1,000 x 12.82329 (PV annuity factor, 6.3%, 27 periods) = 12,823.29. This corresponds to 12,823.29 / 14,113 = 90.86% of the annuity's present value.

According to information found on the production analysis page of the Inquirer, Chester sold 1127 units of Cute in the current year. Assuming that Cute maintains a constant market share, all the units of Cute are sold in the Nano market segment and the growth rate remains constant, how many years will it be before Cute will not be able to meet future demand unless the company adds production capacity

Answers

Answer:

1 year

Explanation:

Since it is mentioned that there is a constant market share, also the growth rate is also same so for meeting the future demand, the time period that would be considered is one year as the company should added its production capacity so that it could be in a position to meet the demand else the company is not able to meet its future demand

Hence, year 1 is considered

a. The PPP condition implies that the rupee has depreciated relative to the dollar.
b. The PPP condition implies that the rupee has appreciated relative to the dollar

Answers

Answer:

b. The PPP condition implies that the rupee has appreciated relative to the dollar

Explanation:

Remember, the inflation rate looks at how the prices of goods and services in a country increases over a period of time, and it's effects on the the purchasing value or power of money in the country.

As in this scenario, India had 2 percent inflation rate while United States had 2.7 which is a higher price increases not in a different period but the same one, meaning that the Purchasing power parity (PPP) condition of the rupee has appreciated relative to the dollar from 2008-2012.

Direct materials 5.50 pounds $ 2.50 per pound $ 13.75
Direct labor 0.50 hours $ 6.50 per hour $ 3.25
During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded:
1. Ten thousand six hundred pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.40 per pound.
2. The company produced only 1,060 units, using 9,540 pounds of material. (The rest of the material purchased remained in raw materials inventory.)
3. 630 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $7,560.
Required:
Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials 5.50 pounds $ 2.50 per pound.

Actual:

1. 10,600 were purchased for $2.40 per pound.

2. The company produced only 1,060 units, using 9,540 pounds of material.

To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (2.5 - 2.4)*10,600

Direct material price variance= $1,060 favorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

standard quantity= 1,060*5.5= 5,830

Direct material quantity variance= (5,830 - 9,540)*2.5

Direct material quantity variance= $9,275 unfavorable

Answers

Answer:

15%

Explanation:

For computing the annual interest rate we need to apply the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below;

Given that,  

Present value = $25,000

Future value or Face value = $0

PMT = $1,212.17

NPER = 24 months

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after applying the above formula,

The annual interest rate is

= 1.25% × 12 months

= 15%

Are the materials costs and processing costs relevant in the choice between alternatives A and B?
Multiple Choice
A) Only processing costs are relevant
B) Only materials costs are relevant
C) Both materials costs and processing costs are relevant
D) Neither materials costs nor processing costs are relevant

Answers

Answer: B) Only materials costs are relevant

Explanation:

When choosing between alternatives, the main decider is the difference in costs. The costs that are different are the ones to decide whether a company takes on a project as it will signal the financial viability of a project.

In both alternatives, the Processing costs remain at $37,000 therefore the alternative chosen is irrelevant to these costs as they will be incurred regardless of the company's choice. They are therefore not to be considered.

Material costs on the other hand vary by the alternatives and so should be considered.
