...financing Chapter 1: Background of the Study 1.1 Introduction The international trade activities are grown day by day. This trend is attributable to the increased globalization of the world economies and the availability of trade payment and finance from the international banking community. Although banks also finance domestic trade, their role in financing international trade and payment system is more critical due to the additional complications involved. First, the exporter might question the importer’s ability to make payment. Second, even if the importer is creditworthy, the government might impose exchange controls that prevent payment to the exporter. Third, the importer might not trust the exporter to ship the goods ordered. Fourth, even if the exporter does ship the goods, trade barriers or time lags in international transportation might delay arrival time. Financial managers must recognize methods that they can use to make payment and finance international trade so that they can conduct exporting or importing in a manner that maximizes the value of a business. In any international trade transaction, credit is provided by the exporter, the importer, one or more financing institutions, or any combination of these. The supplier may have sufficient cash flow to finance the entire trade cycle, beginning with the production of the product until payment is eventually made by the buyer. In some cases, the exporter may require bank financing to augment its cash flow...

...International Trade Simulation and Report Team B: Kimberly Castillo, Tanya Bell, Elijah B. Gowdy, Derrick Brown ECO/212 June 6, 2012 Instructor, John Holmberg One Advantage and One Limitation of International Trade Advantage and limitation of International Trade, Countries have different quantities, qualities, and cost for resources such as land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship (University of Phoenix, 2009). International trade is the import and export of these resources between countries. International trade allows countries to distribute their resources more efficiently. Importing and exporting of resources is vital to the economy. A gain from International trading is a price increase or decrease, in the local markets. If it is cheaper to make a good and export the good the importer will gain from trade by getting a good at a better price than what the opportunity cost of it would be. If the market price was higher, a lower price exporter will allow market price to fall and pose a benefit for consumers, in the sense that everyone gains the most with minimal losses in the short run. Four Key Points Emphasized in the Simulation Within the simulation team b has identified four key points that were underlined. First there is what is called dumping. Dumping is the selling of goods and products in other countries at a cost that is lower than the cost of those goods and products in its own country. Another key point identified in the simulation...

...International Trade Simulation and Report Taruh Cravens, Melody Jones, Geneva George-Williams, Ruby Morgan, Nicole Southerland ECO/212 Blake Bennett International Trade Simulation and Report This paper is a team correlation on the knowledge gained from our course of study and how the concepts are applied, how international trade affects the U.S, economy, and addresses the four key factors from our weekly reading assignments that are shown in the stimulation. The simulation identified Rodamia’s bordering countries provide an opportunity for international trade and investments that could greatly benefit Rodamia. International trade with other countries would give consumers more choices in price and quality of goods. The domestic producers would increase production to meet market demands in other countries, producing more capital for investing in new avenues. The interaction of trade between the countries will make the countries more vibrant and wealthier. Limitations of international trade are placed in the form of tariffs, quotas, and regulations. These limitations offer protection in certain circumstances but can have negative if used to retaliate for reasons such as political differences (Colander, 2004). The simulation emphasized four key points from the team’s weekly reading assignments, including comparative advantage, the principle of increasing marginal opportunity, the protection possibility curve, and limitations on international trade. The...

...International Trade Simulation and Report The advantage of international trade is countries with certain quantity, quality, and efficient production of goods and services can maximize their country’s wealth. Developing country’s increase sales and revenue through production expansion. International trade increases a country’s gross domestic product (GDP) by increasing the production of products sold to other countries. The free trade agreement between Rodamia, Uthania, and Suntize allowed each country to more efficiently use their resources to increase wealth through the comparative advantage of their export commodity. The flipside of international trade is another country’s ability to produce an export more efficiently than the importing country, causing domestic producers and firms to lose revenue or the opportunity for additional revenue. For example, if Rodamia continues a free trade agreement with Uthania for imports of corn, Rodamia misses the opportunity to become a large producer and net exporter of corn – hurting domestic producers and firms. To counteract the loss of increase revenue for domestic producers and firms, the Rodamia government can impose a tariff – place a tax on the corn or limit the amount of corn imported from Uthania – a quota. The government placing a tariff or quota on corn imported from Uthania protects domestic producers and firms from cheaper imports of corn and affords time to develop efficiency...

...International Trade Simulation and Report Samuel xxxxxxxxx ECO 212 May 07, 2012 Dr. Holscraft International Trade Simulation and Report Over the last few years the United States of America has been in an economic crisis. The economy has been affected badly by layoffs, factories closing down, and corporations needing bail outs. Whenever there is a high unemployment rate the economy heavily affected by the large number of lost laborers. Without laborers and factories to produce goods and services international trade becomes affected. International trade not only helps the United States economy but, also it helps the global economy as well. International trade provides numerous advantages to the United States economy but many limitations also exist so economic leaders must be aware of the pros and cons when negotiating these trades. Advantages and Limitations of International Trade The advantage of a free trade agreement will lower trade barriers, increase trade volume, open different markets, provide more products for consumers, and create more investments opportunities for both countries. Consumers receive the added benefits of competition and companies gain access to new markets. As outside firms invest, this investment creates jobs and tax revenue for the host country and additional revenue for the investing firm. A free trade agreement is an efficient situation for consumers and both countries involved. However, the disadvantage to a free trade agreement is...

...Trade Fair report Telecom Expo & Cloud Expo NL On Thursday 9th of December I have visited the Telecom Expo & Cloud Expo NL. As the name already indicates it’s a telecommunication expo. The reason why I visited this trade fair is that we had to visit a b2b trade fair, and most b2b trade fairs you cannot visit as a student without an invitation or without paying al lot. And with this fair it was possible because it was the first time they were organizing this fair. The telecom Expo & Cloud Expo NL was specially organized for the IT sector but everybody from every company could go to this trade fair if they wanted. The target group for this trade fair were it-professionals in all sectors. This was because those people need this kind of systems which were exposed on the trade fair. There was definitely a connection between the lay-out/set-up of the trade fair and the target group. Because it was really IT like, with all high tech equipment. It also had colouring, but totally different than on a trade fair like “de huishoudbeurs”. My first impression of the Telecom Expo & Cloud Expo NL was that it was small, but really good organized. Because at the entrance they checked you invitation. If you had forgotten your invitation or even didn’t had one they had a few computers were you could subscribe or just print your invitation. They took care of everything, and even had catering. Even it was the first time the organized the Telecom Expo & Cloud Expo NL...

Before going into details about our project we would like to define some common terms which are related to our project like “Dumping and Anti – Dumping” etc. Dumping: The term Dumping is said to occur when the goods are exported from a country to another country at a price which is lower than its cost of production. It is therefore an unfair practice which can have a distortive effect on International trade. Dumping...

... receive a minimal benefit as report complexity has continued to increase which in most cases lead to higher processing costs. Arthur Levitt, former SEC chairman has said that “In many cases, the problem is not a lack of information; it is actually quite the opposite. To much information can be as much of a problem as to little and more disclosure does not always mean better disclosure.” More information and disclosure, especially to small investors is seen as a negative attribute as it once again comes back to higher processing costs from resources they do not have. This makes it rather difficult for small investors to make an informed investment decision surrounding the filing date of a company’s 10-k. Hypotheses Brian Miller derived two hypotheses, with one consisting of an A & B format surrounding the effects of reporting complexity on small and large investors in order to guide his research. The first hypothesis H1(a) is Total abnormal trading around a 10-K is lower when reports are more complex. Mr. Miller stated that if reports become complex (based on the length & readability), forecasting the profitability and sustainability of future growth from these reports becomes difficult. Investors in this case may simply choose not to invest in companies that produce such complex 10-k reports, which would ultimately lead to a lower abnormal trading volume. H1(b) states that The effects of report complexity on abnormal trading ...
