Case Study -Brexit Some have said that June 23rd, 2016 will go down as Britain's Independence Day! Others have been less positive about Britain's decision to leave the European Union. Financial markets, facing new found uncertainty, plunged. The pound fell hard against the dollar to a 30-year low of $1.32. This decision caused ripples around the world, especially in Europe.

They are considering expanding their business, and are looking at strategic options. RRC can produce either 50 car parts, 100 aircraft parts, or a combination or both. After exploring the market, RRC finds that Volkswagen is also producing both car parts and aircraft parts and may be open to trade, the benefits of which RRC wants to consider. Volkswagen can produce either 120 car parts, 40 aircraft parts, or a combination or both
