Answer:
LicensingFranchisingExplanation:
There are no options but Licensing as well as Franchising are some of the least riskiest ways to expand internationally.
With Licensing, the company looking to expand simply sells licenses to various companies in different countries giving them the right to use their image. Basically, the company the license is sold to gets access to the seller's intellectual property but then can run their business with a significant degree of autonomy.
Franchising represents another way to expand with little risk. It involves a company giving a license to another company to sell and sometimes produce their products as well as image rights. The company will give the franchisee (company that gets the license) the knowledge and training required to maintain the franchise and in exchange, franchisee pays a fee.
Both of these methods ensure that the name and brand of a company spread internationally whilst making money from it. Risk is minimized because the investment in other countries is low to nothing.

what will you use for banca/boat to move
Answer:
a paddle
Explanation:
Using a "paddle" is very important in order to move/propel a boat. Paddling creates a force which goes against the water. This force is faced by an opposite force that is equal and that which allows the boat to move forward.
So as you push the water asides, the boat accelerates. Such technique is deemed efficient when using the boat. Not following the proper technique will not move the boat.

Etxuck327 Inc. sells a particular textbook for $39. Variable expenses are $28 per book. At the current volume of 49,000 books sold per year the company is just breaking even. Given these data, the annual fixed expenses associated with the textbook total:
Answer:
539,000.00
Explanation:
As per the contribution margin analysis concept, the break-even point is obtained by dividing fixed cost by contribution margin per unit.
For Etuck327,
The selling price is $39
Variable expense is $28
Break-even in units is 49,000 books.
Contribution margin per unit = selling price - variable costs
=$39- $28
=$11
if Break-even = fixed cost/ contribution margin per unit, then
49,000= fixed cost / 11
fixed costs = 11 x 49000
Fixed costs = 539,000.00

Pitbull Construction Corporation applies IFRS, has equipment that it can reliably measure fair value of, and has chosen to apply the revaluation model to valuing this equipment on its accounting records. The carrying value of this equipment on Pitbull's books at the end of last year, December 31, 20X1, was $200,000. At the end of this year, December 31, 20X2, due to decreased demand for the equipment, especially when resold as used, the fair value is $150,000. For the year 20X2, in relation to this equipment for which Pitbull has chosen to apply the revaluation method, Pitbull must:_________
Answer and Explanation:
If there is decrease in fair value of an asset as is seen in the example with Pitbull corporation, we decrease asset revaluation reserve in the balance sheet by the value reduced $50000 here to recognise new carrying value of the asset and then debit the expenses of revaluation to the income statement or profit and loss account. If there was an increase in fair value, revaluation would add to retained earnings in balance sheet and income in income statement

Assume Merck (MRK) just announced that its next dividend will be $2, paid one year from now (you just missed the prior annual dividend). You expect the dividend will grow (after the $2 dividend) by 3% per year forever. Your required return is 10%. What are you willing to pay for a share of Merck stock
Answer:
$28.57
Explanation:
Current price = D1/(Required return-Growth rate)
D1 (Next dividend) = $2
Required return = 10% = 0.1
Growth rate = 3% = 0.03
Current price = $2/(0.1-0.03)
Current price = $2 / 0.07
Current price = $28.57143
Current price = $28.57
Hence, i will be willing to pay $28.57 for a share of Merck stock.
Suppose you are a manager for a multinational company that produces a variety of beauty products. Heartland Company was founded in 1942 and began making shampoo and soap products. Heartland, headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, now sells hair care, soap, and makeup products in 22 countries across the globe. Heartland holds the majority market share in the U.S. and is largely regarded as a trend-leader in hair and beauty products. As the Global Brand Vice President, you have been tasked with taking the brand to Brazil, considered to be a large cosmetics market in the next few years. The Brazilian cosmetics and hair care market is largely dominated by Belleza who currently holds a 60% market share. Belleza is marketed toward young, fashion-forward women. The second largest company, Botánico, holds just a 20% share of the market. Your research suggests that while Botánico has efficient manufacturing and distribution, young consumers see them as being a brand for their mothers and grandmothers.
Given the information above, what is the best market entry strategy for this company?
a. Partnership
b. Exporting
c. Outsourcing
Answer:
a. Partnership
Explanation:
Brazil is a market that can be tricky if exporting is used. Botanico is struggling at 2nd position with only 20% share but are efficient in manufacturing and distribution which can be utilized by Heartland. Heartland is known as trend setter which is something Botanica lacks currently to woo the young women and girls into buying their products A partnership would simply result that competitive edges of both the parties can be employed together to win over the market.

f. Assume that the company uses departmental predetermined overhead rates with machine-hours as the a location base in both production departments. What is the departmental predetermined overhead rate in the Assembly department? (Round your answer to
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
a) To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (77,200 + 3,000 + 14,000) / 10,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9.42 per machine hour
b) To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Job E:
Allocated MOH= 5,000*9.42
Allocated MOH= $23,550
c) Total cost= 21,600 + 22,600 + 47,100
Total cost= $91,300
d) Selling price= 91,300*1.2= $109,560
e) Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (24,000/3,000) + 1
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9 per machine hour
f) Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (53,200/7,000) + 2
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9.6 per machine hour
Champion manufactures winter fleece jackets for sale in the United States. Demand for jackets during the season is normally distributed, with a mean of 20,000 and a standard deviation of 10,000. Each jacket sells for $60 and costs $30 to produce. Any leftover jackets at the end of the season are sold for $25 at the year-end clearance sale. Holding jackets until the year-end sale adds another $5 to their cost. A recent recruit has suggested shipping leftover jackets to South America for sale in the winter there rather than running a clearance. Each jacket will fetch a price of $35 in South America, and all jackets sent there are likely to sell. Shipping costs add additional $5 to the cost of any jacket sold in South America, along with the $5 for holding jackets till the end of the season.
Required:
a. Would you recommend the South American option? Support your decision with calculations.
b. How will the South American option affect production and profitability at Champion?

e. With Benson Company using ABC billing system to charge Larson, the system is fairer to clients generally, because it takes into consideration the volume of each activity consumed per client. Customers are charged based on actual activities consumed, and not based on some arbitrary figures. It is more reflective of the cost structure of the business and offers the best quality service to customers because price is determined by volume of activities.

Seiko’s current salary is $85,000. Her marginal tax rate is 32 percent and she fancies European sports cars. She purchases a new auto each year. Seiko is currently a manager for an Idaho Office Supply. Her friend, knowing of her interest in sports cars, tells her about a manager position at the local BMW and Porsche dealer. The new position pays only $75,000 per year, but it allows employees to purchase one new car per year at a discount of $15,000. This discount qualifies as a nontaxable fringe benefit. In an effort to keep Seiko as an employee, Idaho Office Supply offers her a $10,000 raise. Answer the following questions about this analysis.
Problem 12-41
Part a a. Assuming it has a 21 percent marginal tax rate, what is the annual after-tax cost to Idaho Office Supply to provide Seiko with the $10,000 increase in salary?
Answer:
$7,900
Explanation:
Given that:
Assuming a marginal tax rate of 21%
Salary Raise = $10000
Annual after-tax cost to Idaho :
Salary raise ( 1 - marginal tax rate)
$10000 ( 1 - 21%)
$10000( 1 - 0.21)
$10000 - $2100
= $7,900

a. a corrective tax of $10 per unit of output is required.
b. a corrective tax of more than $10 per unit of output is required.
c. a corrective tax of less than $10 per unit of output is required.
d. a corrective subsidy of $10 per unit of output is required.

Assume you work for a valuation firm, and you have been given the assignment of valuing a local law firm comprising three partners and four associates. One partner plans to retire spoon, and the partners are trying to agree on the value of a one-third interest in the firm in order to buy out the departing partner's interest. The firm's revenue per partner is two times higher than that of the average firm of a similar size, but you soon discover that 80% of firm revenue is from one client.
Required:
Please raise one question about this scenario that you would want to address.
Answer:
Valuation of a law firm
One question to raise:
Which of the partners brought in this one powerful client? I hope it is not the retiring partner.
Explanation:
If the retiring partner had brought in the client and had been in charge of the client's business, the firm's valuation would be drastically influenced by these facts. It is likely that the client might retire the service as the retiring partner retires. This will jeopardize the revenue outlook of the firm, its future prospects, and its current value. However, if the retiring partner is not linked to this powerful client, then it may be that the firm's value will not be at risk. Again, over-dependence on one client for firm's revenue is does not augur well for the firm. Moreover, the margin of over-dependence is too high for comfort. There is serious need for a review of the relationship, not in terms of termination, but in terms of seeking for more big-ticket clients to relatively reduce the over-dependence.
A worker has two jobs, and they can choose to work any number of hours in a day on each job (up to the upper limit, if any), but can only work on one job at a time. The first job pays $10 per hour and has an upper limit of 6 hours per day. The second job pays $6 per hour and has no upper limit (for example, fixed-contract online freelance work). The worker will always choose the first job if they can. Consider their budget constraint with the amount of daily leisure time on the horizontal axis (from 0 to 24 hours) and their consumption expenditure on the vertical axis (which equals their daily income). Based on this information, which of the following is correct?
a. The workers budget constraint is kinked at 6 hours of free time.
b. The worker will never choose to consume exactly 18 hours of free time.
c. The slope of the budget constraint is -6 when the hours of free time is small, and 10 when the hours of free time is large.
d. For the choice of 8 hours of free time, the maximum expenditure for the day is 96
Answer:
The slope of the Budget constraint is -6 when the hours of free time is small, and 10 when the hours of free time is large ( C )
Explanation:
The slope of the Budget constraint is -6 when the hours of free time is small, and 10 when the hours of free time is large
This is right, because whenever the hours of free time is small, This means that he will be under the second job that pays $6 per hour, with no upper limit on work hours, hence he will work more & enjoy less free time.
Hence the slope of BC = 6

Analyzing Unearned Revenue Disclosures
The following disclosures (excerpted) are from the August 28, 2016, annual report of Costco Wholesale Corporation.
Revenue Recognition: We generally recognize sales, net of estimated returns, at the time the member takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When we collect payment from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amount recieved is generally recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets until the sales or service is completed. Membership fee revenue represents annual membership fees paid by our memberships. We account for membership fee revenue, net of estimated refunds, on a deferred basis, whereby revenue is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.

Deferred membership fees 1,362 1,269
Other current liabilities 2,003 1,695
Total current liabilities $15,575 $16,539
(a) Which of the following statements best explains in layman terms how Costco accounts for the cash received for its membership fees?
Because Costco does not know how many of its members will continue to the end of the year, cash received from members is recorded as a liability and recognized as revenue only at year-end.
When it receives cash, the company records it as a current liability. Then, it recognizes revenue evenly over the year.
The company records revenue when the cash is received.
Because Costco has a refund policy, the company records revenue when the cash is received, less an allowance for expected membership terminations.
Mark 1.00 out of 1.00
(b) Use the balance sheet information on Costco's Deferred Membership Fees liability account and its income statement revenues related to Membership Fees earned during 2016 to compute the cash that Costco received during 2016 for membership fees.
Total cash received (in $ millions) = $Answer
(c) Use the financial statement effects template to show the effect of the cash Costco received during 2016 for membership fees and the recognition of membership fees revenue for 2016.
Use negative signs with answers, when appropriate.
