Under Project A, Joe would receive 0.15 * $75,000 = $11,250 per year. Under Project B, Joe would receive 0.15 * $63,000 = $9,450. Under Project C, Joe would receive 0.15 * $68,000 = $10,200. Thus, since $11,250 > $10,200 > $9,450, Joe would choose Project A to maximize his income. However, Frank would prefer that Project B be chosen as it results in the greatest increase in firm value for CCC ($153,000 > $145,000 > $138,000).

Lower of sluggish standard of living in globally uncompetitive industries Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) brings funds and business culture from abroad, creates new jobs, introduces innovative technologies, and enhances the skills of domestic workers. Emerging countries tend to attract sizeable amounts of FDI. Exhibit 2.3 • Net Inflows of Foreign Direct Investment by region and Industrialization. DISCUSSION STARTER: REALITY CHECK 1. Visit the retail store where you purchase everyday necessities and pick out ten items that you regularly use. Now, look at the labels and find out how many of them come from abroad. Can you imagine what your life would be like if we did not have international trade? III. Major Theories of International Trade. No single nation in the world is capable of producing all the goods and services it needs. Neither does any nation have the required resources. Therefore, nations of the world need to trade. Theories of international trade provide an appreciation for the progress made in understanding how trade works. They also present a rationale why restriction to trade should be minimized. Wealth Accumulation as a Basis for Trade Theory: Mercantilism. Mercantilism is a theory of international trade that supports the premise that a nation could only gain from trade if it had a trade surplus. It’s an oldest theory. Mercantilists believed that for a nation to become wealthy, the nation had to export as much as possible, and the value of exports should exceed those of imports, which are viewed as a cost. If every trading nation decided to increase its exports, the surplus of exported goods in the world market would depress prices and decrease earnings of exporting countries. Specialization as a Basis for Trade Theory: Absolute and Comparative Advantage. Adam Smith argued and proved that free trade without restrictions would increase the wealth of nations. Absolute Advantage exists when one country can produce a good more efficiently than another. Theory of comparative advantage is a refinement of Adam theory and is attributed to David Ricardo. It claims that a country should

We cannot tell which groups the levels represent from this output. Negative singing vs. positive singing No singing vs. negative singing Positive singing vs. no singing The correct answer is d) Positive singing vs. no singing Feedback: If you look at the Within-Subjects Factors box, you can see that level 1 = positive singing, level 2 = negative singing and level 3 = no singing. Imagine we were interested in the effect of supporters singing on the number of goals scored by soccer teams. We took 10 groups of supporters of 10 different soccer teams and asked them to attend three home games, one at which they were instructed to sing in support of their team (e.g., ‘Come on, you reds!’), one at which they were instructed to sing negative songs towards the opposition (e.g., ‘You’re getting sacked in the morning!’) and one at which they were instructed to sit quietly. The order of chanting was counterbalanced across groups. A one-way repeated-measures ANOVA was conducted and post hoc tests were selected. Looking at the output below, which of the following sentences regarding the pairwise comparisons is correct? (Hint: Look in the box labelled Within-Subjects Factors to see which variable corresponded with which level.) Soccer teams scored significantly more goals when their supporters sang positive songs towards them compared to when they sang negative songs towards the opposition, but not compared to when they did not sing at all. Soccer teams scored significantly fewer goals when their supporters sang negative songs compared to when they did not sing at all. Soccer scored significantly more goals when their supporters sang positive songs towards them compared to when they sang negative songs towards the opposition, but not compared to when they did not sing at all. Soccer teams did not significantly differ in the number of goals scored when their supporters sang negative songs compared to when they did not sing at all. Soccer teams scored significantly more goals when their supporters sang positive songs towards them compared to when they sang negative songs towards the opposition and compared to when they did not sing at all. Soccer teams did not significantly differ in the number of goals scored when their supporters sang negative songs compared to when they did not sing at all. Soccer teams scored significantly more goals when their supporters sang positive songs towards them compared to when they sang negative songs towards the opposition and when they did not sing at all. Soccer teams scored significantly more goals when their supporters sang negative songs compared to when they did not sing at all.

149. ETutor is an online tutoring service provider that is particularly popular with college students. The company is interested in estimating the fixed and variable components of its tutoring services costs. The manager believes that these costs are driven by the number of hours of tutoring services provided. The following information was gathered for the last six months of business: Required: 1) Compute the average tutoring cost per hour for the six-month period. 2) Use the high-low method to estimate the total fixed cost and the variable cost per hour. 3) Name one advantage and one disadvantage of the high-low method. 4) Describe the scattergraph method that can be used to analyze mixed costs. Answers will vary Feedback: 1) Average tutoring cost per hour: $2,083,000/178,000 hours = $11.70 per hour $2,083,000 = total tutoring costs for the 6-month period; 178,000 = total number of hours 2) High-Low method of analyzing mixed costs: Total costs = a + bX where a = total fixed costs and b = unit variable cost, and X is the cost driver or independent variable Variable cost per hour (b) = (February costs - June costs)/(February hours - June hours) b = ($420,000 - 252,000)/(41,000 - 18,000) = $7.30 per hour Total fixed costs: If total costs = a + bX then a = $420,000 - ($7.30 × 41,000) = $120,700 (note that answers are affected by rounding) Thus, the cost equation would be defined as total costs = $120,700 + 7.30X, where X is the number of tutoring hours. 3) An advantage of the high-low method is its simplicity of use. The primary disadvantage is its vulnerability to inaccuracy. 4) Under the scattergraph approach data are plotted on a graph and a visual fit line is visually drawn through the points so that the total distance between the data points and the line is minimized.
