They will then reissue these stock as ADRs in the American stock exchanges and also value the ADR based on their valuation models to find out the ratio of ADR to share quantity. If the Japanese company is trading as an ADR. you will be able to invest in them from the United States.
Using a computerized Inventory Management System, a Paint Supply Store franchise continuously monitors the inventory of all the paint located at each of their 15 stores and their distribution warehouse. The Paint Supply Store franchise sells an average of 74 gallons of Purple Paint every week (for 52 weeks per year, Standard Deviation of the Demand = 8 gallons). They purchase Purple Paint from their supplier at a price of $4.00 per gallon.It takes 2.50 weeks to receive an order from the supplier.Administrative costs for Ordering paint have been estimated to be $35 per order.Holding Costs = 40% of the purchase price per gallon per year.How much Safety Stock should the company hold to have a Service Level of 99.0%?
Answer: 29.4 gallons
Explanation:
The Safety Stock that should be held by the company to have a Service Level of 99.0% will be:
= Z × σ × ✓LT
Z = 2.326
σ = Standard deviation = 8
LT = Lead time = 2.50
Safety stock = = Z × σ × ✓LT
= 2.326 × 8 × ✓2.50
= 2.326 × 8 × 1.58
= 29.4 gallons
The safety stock is 29.4 gallons.
The amount of Safety Stock that the company should hold to have a Service Level of 99.0% is 29 gallons of paint.
Using this formula
Safety stock = z×(√L/T)×σ
Where:
d=Average Demand rate per time period=74 gallons per week
σ = Standard Deviation =8 gallons
L = Performance cycle or total lead time =2.5 week
z = 99% target service level =2.326
T = Time increment= 1 week
Let plug in the formula
Safety stock = (2.329)×(√2.5/1)×8
Safety stock=(2.329)×(1.581)×8
Safety stock=29.4
Safety stock = 29 gallons of paint (Approximately)
Inconclusion the amount of Safety Stock that the company should hold to have a Service Level of 99.0% is 29 gallons of paint.

2. What are bribery and/or corruption? And what do you think is their impact in a company, community, and country?
Bribery is the act of offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting something of value for the purpose of influencing the action of an official or other person in charge of a public or legal duty. Corruption is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain.The impact of bribery and corruption on a company can be significant. It can damage the company's reputation and lead to lost business and decreased investor confidence. Bribery and corruption can also increase the company's cost of doing business, as it may have to pay more to bribe officials or deal with the consequences of being caught engaging in corrupt practices.The impact of bribery and corruption on a community can be equally significant. It can lead to the misallocation of resources, as officials may prioritize their own interests or those of the people bribing them over the needs of the community. Corruption can also undermine trust in government and other institutions, leading to social unrest and lower levels of civic engagement.The impact of bribery and corruption on a country can be far-reaching. It can discourage foreign investment and undermine economic development, as investors may be wary of investing in a country with a reputation for corruption. Corruption can also lead to the misallocation of resources and the mismanagement of public funds, which can have negative consequences for the country's infrastructure and the delivery of public services. In addition, corruption can erode trust in government and contribute to social unrest and political instability.

An internet company gives their old computer system to the computer science
department at a local high school. How would GDP be impacted?
A. GDP would decrease.
B. GDP would increase
C.GDP would stay the same.
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for GDP is
GDP = C + I + G + NX
C = consumption
I = Investment by business and household purchases by individuals
G = Government Expenditures
NX = foreign trade.
The first thing you can do is knock out foreign trade.
I think you can dispense with Government expenditures as well all though a school is an arm of government.
I think investment is what you have to look at carefully because it does include charitable organizations. We'll come back to this.
Consumption is what it sounds like it sounds.
You can't answer this in any other way than to know how the company writes it off. It is an asset that goes from some value to 0. It no longer exists on their books. So it decreases their assets. It is balanced on their books by calling it an expense I think and that further has impact on their books.
So they are decreasing their value (albeit by a small amount -- they've already bought new computers).
I'm not sure about this, but I think what has happened is that the GDP is going to go down. Their investment has decreased by being written off.
Swifty Inc., which produces a single product, has prepared the following standard cost sheet for one unit of the product.
Direct materials (6 pounds at $1.60 per pound) $9.60
Direct labor (3 hours at $11.00 per hour) $33.00
During the month of April, the company manufactures 180 units and incurs the following actual costs.
Direct materials purchased and used (2,400 pounds) $4,320
Direct labor (560 hours) $6,048
Required:
Compute the total, price, and quantity variances for materials and labor.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we will determine the direct material price, quantity, and total variance. We need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (1.6 - 1.8)*2,400
Direct material price variance= $460 unfavorable
Actual price= 4,320/2,400= $1.8
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (6*180 - 2,400)*1.6
Direct material quantity variance= $2,112 unfavorable
Total variance= 460 + 2,112= $2,572 unfavorable
To calculate the direct labor rate, efficiency, and total variance. We need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (3*180 - 560)*11
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $220 unfavorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (11 - 10.8)*560
Direct labor rate variance= $112 favorable
Actual rate= 6,048/560= $10.8
Total variance= -220 + 112= $108 unfavorable

This is because the producers and the consumers generally control the market thereby coordination is easier.
The Simon Company (SIMON) currently has $300,000 market value (and book value) of perpetual debt outstanding carrying a coupon rate of 6%. Its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) are $150,000, and it is a zero growth company. SIMON's current cost of equity is 8.8%, and its tax rate is 40%. The firm has 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding selling at a price per share of $90.00.Now assume that SIMON is considering changing from its original capital structure to a new capital structure that results in a stock price of $96 per share. The resulting capital structure would have a $504,000 total market value of equity and a $756,000 market value of debt. How many shares would SIMON repurchase in the recapitalization
Answer:
The answer is "4,750"
Explanation:
They have indeed been given the information that we require.
The current market cap for Simon Company (SIMON) is $300,000.
rate= 6%
EBIT=$150,000
The business has no plans to expand.
The current cost of capital is 8.8%,
The tax rate is 40%.
The company has 10,000 shares of common stock mostly on market.
The stock is being offered at a $90.00 per share price.
Assume SIMON is considering switching in its current financial performance to one that results in a share price of $96 per share.
The resultant capital structure would have a combined valuation of $504,000 in capital and $756,000 in equity.
Remaining Shares= equity market value / per share price
[tex]n =\frac{S}{P} \\\\= \frac{\$504,000}{ \$96}\\\\= \$5,250[/tex]
The initial number of shares minus the resultant number of shares equals the number of repurchased shares:
AJC will buy back a certain number of shares.
[tex]= 10,000 - 5,250\\\\= 4,750\\[/tex]

Answer:
The total amount capitalized for the patent through March 31, 2018 should be $456,000
Explanation:
All the costs incurred to make the asset usable will be capitalized.
The research cost is the sunk cost because it is already been incurred and it does not affect the decision of making the patent.
Hence the capitalized cost can be calculated as follow
Capitalized cost = Legal Fee for registration + Legal fee of successful defense of the patent
Capitalized cost = $151,000 + $305,000
Capitalized cost = $456,000

It would compel the government to cut spending to offset lost tax revenues, which decline during recessions. prevent the government from employing an expansionary fiscal policy, since increased government spending would have to be offset by increased taxes. require the government to increase spending to match increased tax revenues, pushing up interest rates and crowding out private spending. force the Fed to pursue an expansionary monetary policy, which would cause inflation, undermining economic growth.
Answer:
It would compel the government to cut spending to offset lost tax revenues, which decline during recessions. Prevent the government from employing an expansionary fiscal policy, since increased government spending would have to be offset by increased taxes.Explanation:
The Federal government balancing its budget every year means that it would need to match its revenue (taxes) to its spending.
Should they be forced to do this, they would have to cut spending so that they would be able to match taxes when they are low during recessions. This would not be helpful because government spending is needed to get out of a recession.
The government would also be unable to pursue an expansionary fiscal policy because any increase in spending would have to match an increase in taxes to fund it. The effect of the spending will not be as felt because the government would be simultaneously pumping money into the economy and taking it out at the same time.
