Foreign direct investment (FDI) is an investment made by a firm
or individual in a country into business located in another
country. FDI happens when an investor establishes a business in
another country separate from his home country. Or a business owner
could acquire foreign business assets, including establishing
ownership or controlling interest in that company. Foreign direct
investments are distinguished from portfolio investments in which
investors can purchases equities of foreign-based companies.
Foreign direct investments are commonly made in open economies that
offer a skilled workforce and above-average growth for the
investor, as opposed to tightly regulated economies. Foreign direct
investment frequently involves more than just a capital investment.
It may include provisions of management or technology as well. The
key feature of foreign direct investment is that it establishes
either effective control of, or at least substantial influence
over, the decision-making of a foreign business.
Foreign direct investments can be made in a variety of ways,
including the opening of another company in a foreign country,
acquiring and controlling an existing foreign company, or by means
of a merger or joint venture with a company.The threshold for a
foreign investment is a minimum 10% ownership stake in a
foreign-based company. However, that definition is flexible, there
are instances where a firm can be established with less than 10% of
the company's shares.
Singapore, US and UK are among the leading sources of FDI. Based on data that the FDI flows were $10.4 billion, which is a drop of 43% from the first half of last year

A company produces refrigerator motors. These engines have a life expectancy of 19.4 years with a standard deviation of 4.8 years. Assume that the service life of the motors is normally distributed.
a) Calculate the probability of an engine operating for less
than 12 years.
Calculate the probability of an engine operating for more than 25
years.
Calculate the probability that the life of an engine is between 10
and 20 years.
In order to promote the sale of their engines, the company wants to issue a guarantee on the engines which means that the customer can replace the engine free of charge if it breaks before a certain time.
b) How many years of warranty can the company expire if they do
not want to replace more than 2.5% of the engines? (That is, the
warranty period should be such that the probability that an
engine's service life is less than the warranty period is
0.025)
The company has a profit of NOK 1200 on a motor that does not fail
before the warranty period, while it has a loss of NOK 4500 (ie a
profit of -4500 kroner) on a motor that fails before the warranty
period. If the company uses the warranty period calculated, what is
the expected profit from the sale of an engine?
Briefly explain what this expected profit in practice tells us.

Dear Mr. Kappeler:
I have good news and bad news about the financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2017. The good news is that net
income of $100,000 is close to what we predicted in the strategic
plan last year, indicating strong performance this year. The
bad
news is that the cash balance is seriously low. Enclosed is the
Statement of Cash Flows, which best illustrates how both of
these
situations occurred simultaneously . . .
Instructions
Complete the letter to the CEO, including the four components
requested by your boss.

• Ringtone and Phones-R-Us are both successful companies in the cellular phone retail sales business. On the one hand, Phones-R-Us pursues a low-cost strategy and has fairly high employee turnover rates. The firm relies on a high volume of phone sales to generate revenue. On the other hand, Ringtone pursues a competitive advantage based on customer intimacy and has very loyal employees. Ringtone sells expensive, high-quality phones and relies on its employees to provide high-quality customer service to generate sales.
• The sales representative for both companies “bring in the bacon.” As such these people are a key factor to the firms’ success. How should each company source recruits for the position?

Hello, so for a project in management accounting we were assigned a fake kayak selling/renting company that opporates in new england. The project gave us 1,000 to invest in expansion and the locations we chose are newburyport MA, new London County CT, Pawtucket RI, and South Portland ME. We decided to invest the million on propertys in these locations however our professor wants us to calculate the ROI on these investments somehow with only using internet sources so I don;t actually know how to do that.
Please tell me what the potential revenue could be and the ROI based on data about kayak sales found anywhere on the internet. Thank you.
