Consider a firm that sells its product in both the U.S. and the U.K. U.S. demand is for​ 10,000 units, and the U.S. production capacity is​ 8,000 units. Demand in the U.K. is for​ 6,000 units, and the U.K. production capacity is​ 12,000 units. Production cost in the U.S. is​ $10, and production cost in the U.K. is​ ₤4. The current exchange rate is​ $2.8 =​ ₤1. The shipping cost is​ $1 per unit for any units shipped between the two countries. Sales prices equate to​ $100 in each country. How many units should be made in each​ country?

A.

U.S.​ = 16,000; U.K.​ = 0

U.S.​ = 8,000; U.K.​ = 8000

C.

U.S.​ = 8,000; U.K.​ = 0

D.

U.S.​ = 8,000; U.K.​ = 6,000

E.

U.S.​ = 0; U.K.​ = 16,000

F.

U.S.​ = 10,000; U.K.​ = 6,000

The problem of many developing businesses has always been attributed to insufficient or lack of capital to run these enterprises. But on taking an MBA course at the University, you have come to realize that most businesses in Ghana and Africa fail not because of capital adequacy issues but rather, human resources management issues. What significant expectations would you give to all HR managers as needed competences to be equipped with if you are the consultant general to businesses in Ghana? Discuss these factors or requirements in not more than One and half (11 /2) pages.

Napoleon is contemplating four institutions of higher learning as options for a Master’s in Business Administration. Each university has strong and weak points and the demand for MBA graduates is uncertain. The availability of jobs, student loans, and financial support will have a significant impact on Napoleon’s ultimate decision. Vanderbilt and Seattle University have comparatively high tuition, which would necessitate Napoleon take out student loans resulting in possibly substantial student loan debt. In a tight market, degrees with that cachet might spell the difference between a hefty paycheck and a piddling unemployment check. Northeastern State University and Texas Tech University hold the advantage of comparatively low tuition but a more regional appeal in a tight job market. Napoleon gathers his advisory council of Jim and Pedro to assist with the decision. Together they forecast three possible scenarios for the job market and institutional success and predict annual cash flows associated with an MBA from each institution. All cash flows in the table are in thousands of dollars.

Suppose that the likelihood for each of scenarios 1 through 3 is 0.3, 0.4, and 0.3, respectively. What is the optimal decision under the EVM criterion?

In 2018, Simon Corporation began selling a new line of toasters that carry a three-year warranty against defects. Based upon past experiences with similar products, the estimated warranty costs related to dollar sales are as follows:

                  First year after sale                           2%

                  Second year after sale                       4%
