arsen [3447]

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.

An investment pays you $30,000 at the end of this year, and $15,000 at the end of each of the four following years. What is the

Nady [3600]

Answer:

The present value of the cash flow, discounted at a 5% annual rate, is $76,815.65.

Explanation:

First, we calculate the present value of a $15,000 annuity over 4 years:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 15,000.00

Time 4

Rate 0.05

$15000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.05)^{-4} }{0.05} = PV\\$

PV $53,189.2576

Next, we discount two additional years as a lump sum, corresponding to two years following the investment:

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 53,189.26

Time 2.00

Rate 0.05000

$\frac{53189.2575624354}{(1 + 0.05)^{2} } = PV$

PV 48,244.2245

Adding them results in the present value:

48,244.22 + 28,571.43 = 76,815.65
