A foreign direct investment (FDI) can be defined as an investment made by an individual or business entity (investor) into an investment market (industry) located in another country. The investor here, shares a different country of origin from the country where his investment is located.
When establishing a foreign direct investment, investors are required to consider some basic entry decisions such as free market, political stability, low inflation rates, pioneering costs etc.
In a foreign investment, pioneering cost arises because the business investment differs from that in the firm's domestic market and such it is necessary that, the firm dedicate a good deal of time, money (expenses) and efforts to learning and adapting to the market rules, policies and processes.
Hence, an example of a pioneering cost is the cost of promoting a new product, cost of enlightening and education of customers etc.

If the expected rate of return for the market is not much greater than the risk-free rate of return, what does this suggest about the general level of compensation for bearing systematic risk
Answer:
the expected rate of return of an investment is calculated using the following formula:
Re = risk free + beta x (market risk - risk free)
market risk - risk free = risk premium
another way of calling market risk is systematic risk
the beta for the whole market is 1, so we can simplify the equation:
market Re = risk free + risk premium
If the expected rate of return is barely above the risk free rate, that means that the market risk (or systematic risk) is not very high, therefore, resulting in a low risk premium. I.e. market risk is very low, probably because the economy is doing very well in general terms and the inflation rate is probably also very low.
If the amount of credit is 300,000 how much is the discount if the debtor is given a credit term of 2/10 N/30?show your
Answer:
6,000
Explanation:
In credit sales, 2/10 Net 30 means that the seller has offered the customer a trade discount. 2/10 net 30 is a conditional discount available if payment is made in 10 days. It's a 2% discount should the customer pay in 10 days, if not so, the full amount is due within 30 days.
The discount amount for 300,000 is 2 percent of 300,000.
=2/100 x 300,000
=0.02 x 300,000
=6,000
Daryl Kirby opened Squid Realty Co. on January 1, 2015. At the end of the first year, the business needed additional capital. On behalf of Squid Realty Co., Daryl applied to Ocean National Bank for a loan of $375,000. Based on Squid Realty Co.'s financial statements, which had been prepared on a cash basis, the Ocean National Bank loan officer rejected loan as too risky. After receiving the rejecting notice, Daryl instructed his accountant to prepare the financial statement on an accrual basis. These statements included $65,000 in accounts receivable and $85,000 in accounts payable. Daryl then instructed his accountant to record an additional $30,000 of accounts receivable for commissions on property for which a contract had been signed on December 28, 2015. The title to the property is to transfer on January 5, 2016, when an attorney formally records the transfer of the property to the buyer. Daryl then applied for a $375,000 loan from Free Spirit Bank, using the revised financial statements. On this application, Daryl indicated that he had not previously been rejected for credit.
Required:
Discuss the ethical and professional conduct of Daryl Kirby in applying for the loan from Free Spirit Bank.
Answer:
There are issues with Revenue recognition, Accrual basis of accounting and Cash basis of accounting.
Explanation:
The ethical issues are important to handle with care in business. The accountant has used accrual basis accounting technique in order to apply for a loan. The revised financial statements are prepared with accrual concept so that the company is successful in procuring loan. The revenue should be recognized when performance obligation is completed and the required services are rendered. The accrual concept states that the transaction should be recorded when it occurs regardless when the cash is actually received. Daryl has been involved in unethical practice as he has instructed his accountant to prepare revised financial statements to portray that the company's performance is good. It is an intention to deceive bank in order to procure loan.
Porter theorizes that the four attributes in his diamond model may promote or impede the creation of competitive advantage. Factor endowments are a nation's position in factors of production such as skilled labor or infrastructure necessary to compete in a given industry. Demand conditions are the nature of home demand for the industry's product or service. Related and supporting industries are the presence or absence of supplier industries and related industries that are internationally competitive. Firm strategy, structure, and rivalry are the conditions governing how companies are created, organized, and managed and the nature of domestic rivalry.
Required:
What is the most appropriate attribute of national competive advaritage from Porter's theory?
Explanation:
The most appropriate attribute of the national competitive advantage of Porter's theory is factor endowments.
This attribute corresponds to the one that can most significantly impact the competitive position that a company will have in the market, as it refers to the conditions that a company will have to develop its essential factors such as labor, technology, capital, etc., these factors being totally influenced by the local economy and its favorable conditions for the flow of business.
For this reason, it is necessary to have government incentives for public and private companies through the development of economic policies that favor the competitiveness of companies and the improvement of their factors, increasing their quality and efficiency.
On January 20, 2017, Tamira Nelson, the accountant for Picton Enterprises, is feeling pressure to complete the annual financial statements. The company president has said he needs up-to-date financial statements to share with the bank on January 21 at a dinner meeting that has been called to discuss Picton's obtaining loan financing for a special building project. Tamira knows that she will not be able to gather all the needed information in the next 24 hours to prepare the entire set of adjusting entries. Those entries must be posted before the financial statements accurately portray the company's performance and financial position for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2016. Tamira ultimately decides to estimate several expense accruals at the last minute. When deciding on estimates for the expenses, she uses low estimates because she does not want to make the financial statements look worse than they are. Tamira finishes the financial statements before the deadline and gives them to the president without mentioning that several account balances are estimates that she provided.
Required:
1. Identify several courses of action that Tamira could have taken instead of the one she took.
2. If you were in Tamira's situation, what would you have done?
Answer:
the question says she used low estimates to make the statement look good.
Explanation:
here are the answers:
1. Identify several courses of action that Tamira could have taken instead of the one she took
Tamira was wrong for providing low estimates. She should have been truthful in her estimation. If some items were not estimated she should have made it known that those items were still under review. Using low estimates on purpose is not ethical and unacceptable by GAAP standards.
She would have been straight with the president and let him know the time frame was not enough for the finalization of the statements. She would have instead given a time frame when the internal draft would be ready.
2. If you were in Tamira's situation, what would you have done?
If I were tamira, I will not raise or reduce figures on purpose just to make the statements look presentable. I will be truthful on figures and estimates I used and why I did. If the president would pressurize me to do the wrong thing, I will have no option than to leave the organization to avoid going against ethical standards since such actions have legal implications.
You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: splishy splashies, frizzles, and cannies. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods.
Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of splishy splashies decreases by 5%, the quantity of frizzles sold increases by 4% and the quantity of cannies sold decreases by 5%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together.
Complete the first column of the following table by computing the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and flopsicles, and then between splishy splashies and kipples. In the second column, determine if splishy splashies are a complement to or a substitute for each of the goods listed. Finally, complete the final column by indicating which good you should recommend marketing with splishy splashies.
Relative to Splishy Splashies
Cross-Price Elasticity of Demand Complement or Substitute Recommend Marketing with Splishy Splashies
Flopsicles
Kipples
Answer:
cross-price elasticity formula = % change in quantity demanded of good X / % change in price of good Y
cross-price elasticity of demand between splishy splashies and frizzles (or is it flopsicles?) = 4% / -5% = -0.8, complement goods. When the cross price elasticity is negative, then the goods complement each other.
cross-price elasticity of demand between splishy splashies and cannies (or is it kippies?) = -5% / -5% = 1, substitute goods. When the cross price elasticity is positive, then the goods substitute each other.
If you are about to launch a marketing campaign for splishy splashies, then you should include frizzles in it.

Due to erratic sales of its sole product—a high-capacity battery for laptop computers—PEM, Inc., has been experiencing difficulty for some time. The company’s contribution format income statement for the most recent month is given below:
Sales (13,200 units × $40 per unit) $528,000
Variable expenses 316,800
Contribution margin 211,200
Fixed expenses 235,200
Net operating loss $(24,000)
1. Compute the company’s CM ratio and its break-even point in both unit sales and dollar sales.
2. The president believes that a $6,800 increase in the monthly advertising budget, combined with an intensified effort by the sales staff, will result in an $89,000 increase in monthly sales. If the president is right, what will be the effect on the company’s monthly net operating income or loss?
3. Refer to the original data. The sales manager is convinced that a 10% reduction in the selling price, combined with an increase of $31,000 in the monthly advertising budget, will double unit sales. What will the new contribution format income statement look like if these changes are adopted?
4. Refer to the original data. The Marketing Department thinks that a fancy new package for the laptop computer battery would help sales. The new package would increase packaging costs by $0.60 cents per unit. Assuming no other changes, how many units would have to be sold each month to earn a profit of $4,100?

C. Would you recommend that the company automate its operations?
1. Yes
2. No
Answer:
1. Compute the company’s CM ratio and its break-even point in both unit sales and dollar sales.
CM ratio = 211,200 / 528,000 = 39.96%
break even point in $ = 235,200 / 39.96% = $588,588
break even point in units = 588,588 / 40 = 14,714.7 ≈ 14,715 units
2. The president believes that a $6,800 increase in the monthly advertising budget, combined with an intensified effort by the sales staff, will result in an $89,000 increase in monthly sales. If the president is right, what will be the effect on the company’s monthly net operating income or loss?

variable expenses per unit = $24.016 + $0.60 = $24.616
contribution margin per unit = $40 - $24.616 = $15.384
break even point + $4,100 gains = 239,300 / 15.384 = 15,555.122 ≈ 15,556 units

You are considering four hotels that differ from each other with respect to their price and customer reviews:
Answer: H4
Explanation:
Looking at the reviews given per price, a conclusion can be made that the higher the price of staying in the hotel, the higher the ratings given which would imply that the hotels charging higher, have better amenities.
This does not hold for H4 however as they are charging more than H1 but still getting the same reviews as them.
This could either mean that H1 is efficient enough to be getting the same rating for the same price as H4 or that H4 is inefficient such that they are not utilizing their amenities enough to get a higher rating than H1 who they should be better than.
Either scenario point to inefficiency on H4's part.
