Answer:

A. 50

B. 4%

Explanation:

To determine the number of new MBA graduates that Mt. Kinley must recruit annually, we calculate the flow rate of associates by dividing the average number of associates by the flow time for associates.

Requirement A:

Flow rate of associates = Average inventory of associates / Flow time of associates

Flow rate of associates = 200/4

Flow rate of associates = 50

Thus, the company needs to hire 50 new MBAs each year.

Requirement B

The likelihood of an associate advancing to partner is 20% x 20%

This results in a probability of 4% for an associate to become a partner

Therefore, the probability that a new employee at Mt. Kinley will be promoted to partner stands at 4%

Working

The manager flow rate equals the average inventory of managers divided by their flow time

The flow rate of managers = 60/6

The flow rate for managers totals 10 per year

For partners, the flow rate is calculated as the average inventory of partners divided by their flow time

The flow rate of partners = 20/10

This results in 2 partners per year

The probability of an associate becoming a manager is given by 10/50

yielding a probability of 20%

The chances of progressing to partner stands at 2/10

indicating a 20% chance of becoming a partner

Answer:

D. Foreign Subsidiary

Explanation:

A Foreign Subsidiary is a firm that's either partially or fully owned by a larger corporation headquartered in a different nation. This indicates that the company did not organically establish development or begin operations in the nation where it operates. Establishing foreign subsidiaries is a key method for entering international markets, which entails significant risk and commitment compared to other methods listed in the question, due to considerations like costs and time for setting up a foreign subsidiary, compliance issues, tax obligations, immigration regulations, and securing office space and employee accommodations. These factors are less of a concern in joint ventures, strategic alliances, or franchising when seeking to enter international markets.

Réponse:

Amy possède un avantage absolu dans la production de tartes aux pommes et de glaces.

Amy a un avantage comparatif dans la production de tartes aux pommes.

Brad a un avantage comparatif dans la production de glaces.

Amy devrait se spécialiser dans la production de tartes aux pommes, tandis que Brad devrait se focaliser sur la production de glaces.

Explication:

Une personne a un avantage comparatif dans un domaine si elle produit à un coût d'opportunité inférieur par rapport à d'autres individus.

Coût d'opportunité de Brad:

Pour produire une tarte aux pommes = 10 / 5 = 2

Pour produire une glace: 5 / 10 = 0.5

Coût d'opportunité d'Amy:

Pour produire une tarte aux pommes: 15/15 = 1

Pour produire des glaces: 15/15 = 1

Amy a le coût d'opportunité le plus bas comparé à Brad pour la production de tartes aux pommes. Ainsi, elle détient un avantage comparatif dans ce domaine.

Brad présente un coût d'opportunité inférieur à celui d'Amy pour la production de glaces. Il possède donc un avantage comparatif dans la production de glaces.

Une personne doit se spécialiser et échanger le produit pour lequel elle a un avantage comparatif.

Un individu a un avantage absolu dans la production d'un bien s'il produit une quantité supérieure à celle des autres.

Amy a un avantage absolu dans la production des deux biens.

Answer:

$21,370.1071

Explanation:

The calculation for the present value of this perpetuity is as follows:

= Present value five years later + present value at the time of purchase

where,

The present value after five years is

= ($1,000) ÷ (1.04)^5

=$821.9271

Additionally, the present value at the purchase time is

= $821.9271 ÷ 4%

=$20,548.18

Thus, the total present value of the perpetuity is

=$821.9271 + $20,548.18

= $21,370.1071

There is no guarantee that debt will consistently remain stable or decrease to zero; this uncertainty could reduce the portion of the 20% set aside for savings and investments. Additionally, depending on the country's economic conditions, the amount required for investments might unexpectedly increase.
