...Chapter 27 Multinational Financial Management ANSWERS TO BEGINNING-OF-CHAPTER QUESTIONS Most of the questions are illustrated in the BOC spreadsheet model. 27-1 A purely domestic firm does not have to deal with exchange rates, different laws in different countries, transferring funds between subsidiaries in different countries, having to communicate in different languages, and so forth. All of these factors create complications and challenges for multinational firms. In spite of these challenges, there is a strong trend among corporations to “go global.” The primary motivation is profit—many firms can increase their rates of return on investment, and their stock prices, by going global. Some do it primarily to get raw materials; oil companies are an example. Others go global to expand their markets, which helps them cover huge development costs; this is true for producers of movies like Lord of the Rings. Others go global because production costs are lower overseas; this is true for most electronics firms. Still others buy from foreign suppliers; Wal-Mart and Nike are examples. Finally, banks, accounting firms, and other service companies are going global because their customers are doing so, and they must follow their customers or lose them. 27-2 (See the BOC model for data and examples of exchange rates.) From a U.S. perspective, an exchange rate tells us: a. Direct quotation: Number of dollars required to buy one unit of a foreign...

Since its occurrence in 1969 it has brought phenomenal gory to the U.S aeronautical programs and inspired faith and beliefs amongst people that anything is possible. Indeed, moon landing is arguably, the greatest of all the technological advances if the 20th century. However, there are arguments among the general public, scholar and even some aeronautical scientists that the moon landing was faked. Indeed there are a number of conspiracy theorists who believe that NASA faked the 1969 moon landing. These theorists have based their arguments on the political climate of the time with regard for the need to triumph over Soviets and some inconsistencies in the NASA pictorial footage on TV and Photos. However, to understand the basis of arguments in disputing the reality of NASA moon landing, it is important to study the background of the myth in accordance to NASA. Origins of the Myths One of the renowned scientific critic Kaysing & Reid (45) in his book We Never Went to the Moon argues that the mission was a scam. He narrates that after a series of technological problems and disasters, NASA scientists realized that the institution had not gathered enough capability and to deliver...

...Chapter 17, 18, & 19 With Chapter 17: Jane Melody has assigned you to plan integrated marketing communications for Sonic’s new product introduction. Review the data, decisions, and strategies you previously documented in your marketing plan before you answer the next three questions. • What communications objectives are appropriate for Sonic’s initial campaign? Answer: Brand Awareness will provide a foundation for brand equity. Consumers are more likely to recognize a package than to remember a brand name. In previous questions we discussed ways in which Sonic can use packaging and labeling to support its brand image. The idea is to grab the attention of the customer. The Sonic 1000’s features, customizations, performance quality, and reliability product differentiations will allow the consumer to recognize the brand outside the store. “Purchase intention is defined as the likelihood that a consumer will buy a product.” As discussed in previous questions, Sonic should provide consumers as well as businesses with product allowances on trade ins from previous devices when purchasing a Sonic 1000. Promotional offers will encourage consumers to buy Sonic’s new product by offering an incentive to upgrade from a previous PDA. Sonic on the initial campaign should set objectives in order to gain awareness from our preconceived target market. Sonic’s objectives need to focus on knowledge, liking, preference, conviction, and purchase. Right now Sonic needs to focus...

Abstract As we all know that education is crucial in the development of any country. The main focus of this research is to identify the problems faced by working women in education sector.

Despite the supportive attitude of their parents unmarried women still face challenges like transportation and managing time between personal and social life.

In spite of all the facts, our research concludes that the education sector of Bahawalpur for female teacher is fairly good. Keywords: Women, Education Sector, Bahawalpur, Pakistan. 1.

...According to some scientists, the moon is not a natural satellite rotating around Earth but actually an artificial one. Furthermore, some believe that beneath the lunar surface is a hollow society developed by aliens. Of course, no proof of this exists yet but the evidence continues to grow. MOON CONSPIRACY GETS ATTENTION OF SCIENTISTS There are various conspiracy theories out there but per pass one of the most interesting is the Hollow Moon Hypotheses. In the past, some have thought Earth's satellite was made of cheese or maybe not even real at all. Scientists have easily dismissed those ludicrous claims but the concept of the hollow Moon is beginning to gain traction. Unlike past conspiracies, there seems to be some evidence dating back...

...Squidoo – Squidoo has an interesting blog post on why this author believes that the 1969 moon walk was a hoax. With many reasons to back up this argument, this writer uses many scientific and image-proven facts to get this point across. The article is broken down into the following categories, and is able to give evidence for each topic: 1960’s Technology, Time Frame, Photographic evidence analysis, Astronauts on wires, footage we weren’t meant to see, and so on.

...July 20,1969 America won The Space Race as we were the first human or as we know of living beings on the Moon. Although we have proof of Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were, in fact on the moon, there are some people who choose to believe and deny that this ever occurred. Their reasons mostly include that the flag was waving in the non-existing breeze. Also, there are no stars in the pictures. Lastly, they believe that the moon landing itself was recorded either deep in Hollywood 0r in Area 51. In the pictures, you see of the lunar module you see there are no stars in the sky. You would assume that in space, of all places there would be tons and tons of stars. Well, Michael Rundle wrote on HuffPost, “The lunar modules skin is by far the brightest thing in the pictures which means the crew had to have a low aperture setting on their cameras. Aperture is the setting on how much light is coming in the camera, the stars are not bright enough to be captured by the camera lens. This statement proves that there shouldn’t be pictures of stars on the moon unless that is the only thing in the picture. A statement like this proves that deniers are incorrect in their assumptions. In addition, most people noticed the flag was waving in the non-existing breeze. Richard Holt wrote in “The Telegraph” “ The flagpole is light, flexible aluminium and continues to vibrate after the astronauts let go, giving the impression of blowing in the wind.’’ In many pictures, you can see the pole...
