Describe the macroeconomic indicators that you will look for in order to decide where to expand.

The macroeconomic factors are the current housing market, stock/investment market and social security. With the current housing market being either high or low will determine if selling their homes and going to a retirement care facility is a smart option. If stock market is high and people have the funds to leave and pay for a long-term care home this will also determine whether it is smart to expand or not. The last factor is Social Security and determining certain age/demographics. If individuals are receiving that money sooner or later will also give indicators on when people will choose to join our facilities.

Describe the microeconomic indicators that you will look for in order to decide where to expand.

The microeconomic factors are labor costs and competition. The cost of labor in these facilities are very high. Having staff that is here 24/7, a kitchen team, activities directors and other key talent managers play a crucial role in expansion. If the funds are not met to then the company cannot grow or keep the business running. Competition also plays a large role in expanding. Depending on how many competitors are in the area means customers have more options in retirement facilities. It also can be hard to compete with existing and established homes that are trusted already by customers.

What research/data would you need to determine how best to enter the foreign market?

The research and data I would need to determine how to best enter the foreign market is their currency against the US dollar. Depending on prices and existing markets it will have to factor in what different prices will against the US dollar. I would also need to determine the cost of living and wages in other countries. I would need to investigate this to see what government regulations are and when people in other countries get wages back.

How would you use that research/data to decide on timing, strategic partnerships, and financing?

Once I can determine a price range, cost of living and government regulations/funds I can then decide the best timing and financing. The best timing is when the market is steady, and the demographics are showing spikes of generations going into retirement. Having strategic partnerships with local hospitals, activity centers and marketing tools will grow the internal customers and external future customers. The financing will come once one location is at full capacity and using government funds and other areas to bring in revenue.

Compared with free trade, domestic consumption increases by 3 units. (2). compared with free trade, domestic production increases by 3 units. (3). compared with free trade, consumer surplus decreases by atb+ctde. (4). compared with free trade, producer surplus decreases by a. For questions (5)-(7), suppose the quota is implemented as a voluntary export restraint. (5). compared with free trade, welfare decreases by buctdte. (6). compared with free trade, deadweight loss is $3. (7). the effect of the quota is identical to the effect of a tariff of $1 per unit. For questions (8)-(9) suppose Austria imposes a tariff of $3 per unit, and Austria is a large country. (8). there is no trade for Austria. (9). Austria's terms of trade improve. For questions (10) and (11), suppose Austria imposes a tariff of $1 per unit, and that Austria is a large country. (4 points each). (10). Austria's deadweight loss is smaller than $3. (11). Suppose the domestic price in Austria after the tariff is $6.5, then Austria's welfare increases relative to free trade.Trial balance prepared after completing the adjusting process is called a. Nil balance O b. None of these c. Unadjusted Trial Balance d. Adjusted Trial balance Question 33 Not yet answered Marked out of 1 Flag question If the Total Current Liabilities OMR 74,500 and the Total Liabilities is OMR 85,000, then what would be amount of Non-Current Liabilities? O a. OMR 10,500 O b. None of these O C. OMR 74,500 O d. OMR 85,000MCQ # Answer Justification: 1) FALSE Transactions are entered in the journals in chronological order first and then posted to respective ledgers. Trial Balance will be prepared after balancing the ledgers. Therefore, given statement is FALSE. 2) FALSE If journal entry is posted twice, it will have no effect on trial balance because both debit and credit side of the trial balance will reflect inflated figure. As a result, this error will not be found when the trial balance is produced. Therefore, given statement is FALSE. 3) FALSE Chart of accounts refers to list of account titles (ledger names) used/usable while recording journal entries in firm's books of accounts. It can be arranged in any order which is comfortable to the users of accounts, may be based on their liquidity or numerical values assigned in computer system or based on alphabetical order, etc. So, given statement is FALSE
