Answer 1

Answer:

C,)The reciprocity norm

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed about Sharon who is upset with her secretary. Though everyone in the office agreed not to give Christmas presents this year, Sharon's secretary gave her an expensive bottle of perfume. In this case, the best yet that identifies the source of Sharon's feelings is reciprocity norm.

Reciprocity norm can be regarded as rule of human interaction which stressed that action of a person needs to be reciprocated by another people. In simple term, reciprocity norm explain that when a particular person is been given a gift by another, the gift must be related by the person, this gift could take different number of forms. Reciprocity can be explained better as ways and how particular positive actions generate more positive actions, in the same way that negative actions generate or give room for more negative actions

No preferred dividends are in arrears at the current date. 2. Three years of preferred dividends are in arrears at the current date.

Answers

Answer:

1. No preferred dividends are in arrears at the current date.

Book value per share of common stock = Common Shareholder equity / Number of common stock shares

= (Total shareholders equity - Preferred stock) / Number of common stock shares

= (1,585,000 - 250,000) / 100,000

= $13.35 per share

2. Three years of preferred dividends are in arrears at the current date.

Preferred stock = (Preferred stock + Accumulated dividends)

= 250,000 + (6% * 250,000 * 3 years)

= 295,000 shares

Book value per share of common stock = (1,585,000 - 295,000) / 100,000

= $12.90 per share

Answer and Explanation:

Insider trading compromises the integrity of the market because insider investors have non-public information about the stocks of the company that could very much impact the value of the stock of the company. In other words, an insider knows what the public doesn't know about a company and it allows him an unfair advantage to trade the stocks of the company using this information and make large unusual profit. This could lead to market collapse as investors are no longer encouraged to invest seeing that they can't trust that the market is transparent and trustworthy(they don't have all the important information that would affect the company)

So sánh xuất khẩu trực tiếp và xuất khẩu gián tiếp?

Answers

Answer:

so sánh  về  mặt ưu và nhược :

Explanation:

* Ưu điểm

- Xuất khẩu trực tiếp: Thông qua việc đàm phán, trao đổi trực tiếp với các đơn vị mà đôi bên có thể dễ dàng đi đến thống nhất chung, ít xảy ra các hiểu lầm, do đó mà:

·        Tăng lợi nhuận và doanh thu cho doanh nghiệp vì giảm thiểu được chi phí tối đa cho các bên trung gian.

·        Tạo điều kiện phát huy tính độc lập của doanh nghiệp

·        Chủ động, tích cực trong việc tiêu thụ hàng hóa, sản phẩm do chính doanh nghiệp sản xuất ra.

- Xuất khẩu gián tiếp:

·        Đơn vị đứng ra nhận ủy thác thực hiện nhiệm vụ xuất khẩu hàng hóa là nhưng người hiểu rõ và nắm chắc tình hình thị trường, các thủ tục pháp luật, do đó việc buôn bán được đẩy mạnh hơn, phát triển nhanh hơn.

·        Đơn vị nhận ủy thác không cần bỏ vốn vào kinh doanh nhưng vẫn có được một khoản doanh thu đáng kể.

* Nhược điểm:

- Xuất khẩu trực tiếp:

·        Chi phí thực hiện cho việc giao dịch khá cao bởi vậy khối lượng hàng hóa xuất khẩu cũng phải lớn bù đắp các chi phí.

·        Dễ xảy ra rủi ro bởi nếu đội ngũ nhân viên không đủ trình độ và kinh nghiệm xử lý công việc, thực hiện các thủ tục hợp đồng sẽ có thể mắc phải các sai lầm đáng tiếc.

- Xuất khẩu gián tiếp:

·        Đơn vị xuất nhập khẩu có thể mất đi sự liên kết với thị trường do phải đáp ứng các chính sách, yêu cầu của đơn vị trung gian.

·        Lợi nhuận không trọn gói và phải sẻ chia cho đơn vị trung gian.

Answers

Answer:

a. They are established by an employer to facilitate and organize employee retirement funds. They are asset pools that invest in securities that have a potential to give stable returns. ⇒ PENSION FUNDS.

Pensions are retirement benefits paid to employees when they retire so employers set up funds called Pension funds where they pay in contributions that grow overtime so that they will pay off employees when they retire.

b. They underwrite, distribute, and design investment securities for corporations to help them raise capital. ⇒ INVESTMENT BANKS.

Investment banks play a very big role in the capital markets as they are the ones who help companies raise capital in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). They help them underwrite, design and distribute the securities as they have an expertise in this.

c. They are asset pools that invest in securities that have a potential to give stable returns. ⇒ PENSION FUNDS

Pension funds grow by investing in securities that will bring in low risk, stable returns so that the retirement benefits of people are safe.

d. They collect a pool of funds from investors for the purpose of diversifying risk, earning interest or dividends, and/or generating profits from the investments' increased value. ⇒ MUTUAL FUNDS

Mutual funds pool money together from various investors and then invest in various companies and industries and returns made are then paid to the investors.

How you can convince your colleagues that introducing the new soft drink is the most profitable strategy by explaining the reasoning and theoretical analysis?

Answers

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are the leading competitors in the market for cola products. In 1960 Coca-Cola introduced Sprite, which today is the worldwide leader in the lemon-lime soft drink market and ranks fourth among all soft drinks worldwide. Prior to 1999, PepsiCo did not have a product that competed directly against Sprite and had to decide whether to introduce such a soft drink. By not introducing a lemon-lime drink, PepsiCo would continue to earn a $200 million profit and Coca Cola would continue to earn a $300 million profit.

Suppose that by introducing a new lemon-line soft drink, one of two possible strategies could be pursued : (1) PepsiCo could trigger a price war with Coca-Cola in both lemon-lime and cola markets or (2) Coca-Cola could acquiesce and each firm maintains its current 50/50 split of the cola market and split the lemon-lime market 70/30 in favor of Coca-Cola. If Pepsi introduced a lemon-lime drink and a price war resulted, both companies would earn profits of $100 million. Alternatively, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo would earn $275 million and $227 million, respectively, if PepsiCo introduce a lemon-lime drink and Coca-Cola acquiesced and split the markets as listed above.

Diagram this situation using the extensive or tree-form of a game.

How you can convince your colleagues that introducing the new soft drink is the most profitable strategy by explaining the reasoning and theoretical analysis?

Solution :

The game can be represented in a way that is shown in the file attached below.

The [tex]\text{best response of Coca-Cola}[/tex] if Pepsi introduces the new product is [tex]\text{to acquiesce}[/tex] to earn [tex]\$275[/tex] million rather than starting a price war with Coca-Cola and earn only [tex]\$100[/tex]. Thus, while [tex]\text{Coca-Cola}[/tex] might use the strategy to threaten by starting a price war in the attempt of keeping out of the market, the threat will not be credible, so the best option is to introduce the new soft drink .
