    Based on the information provided, Konesia can be inferred to have a totalitarian government. This is because the business laws are vague and subject to interpretation by the government, indicating a lack of transparency and rule of law. The presence of bribery as a common feature suggests a lack of accountability and a system where the government has significant control and influence over business dealings. In a totalitarian government, there is typically a single ruling party or leader who exercises absolute control over all aspects of society, including the economy.

    GMI is a fast-growing U.S. company that wants a production system that makes each of its product's two components in the location where the cost of production is lowest. The components will then be taken to maquiladoras for final assembly. GMI purchased an existing company in Brazil to produce component A and built a subsidiary in Thailand to produce component B. GMI's investments are examples of ________.

    • A.

      Foreign direct investment

    • B.

      Portfolio investment

    • C.

      Merger

    • D.

      Horizontal integration

    Correct Answer
    A. Foreign direct investment
    Explanation
    GMI's investments in purchasing an existing company in Brazil and building a subsidiary in Thailand demonstrate foreign direct investment. This is because GMI is directly investing in and controlling the production of the components in different countries, with the goal of taking advantage of the lowest production costs in each location. This type of investment involves a significant level of ownership and control over the foreign assets, which aligns with GMI's strategy in this scenario.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Which of the following systems of production is used by GMI?

    • A.

      Job

    • B.

      Craft

      Rationalized

    • D.

      Customized

    Correct Answer
    C. Rationalized
    Explanation
    GMI uses the rationalized system of production. This system focuses on efficiency and standardization, using specialized machinery and standardized processes to produce goods in large quantities. It aims to minimize costs and maximize output by eliminating unnecessary steps and reducing variability in the production process. This approach allows GMI to achieve economies of scale and meet high demand efficiently.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    GMI's purchase of the Brazilian company is best classified as a(n) ________

    • A.

      Greenfield investment

    • B.

      Portfolio investment

    • C.

      Acquisition

    • D.

      Demerger

    Correct Answer
    C. Acquisition
    Explanation
    The correct answer is acquisition. This is because GMI's purchase of the Brazilian company indicates that GMI is acquiring the company, implying that they are taking ownership and control of the company. This is different from a greenfield investment, which involves starting a new venture from scratch, and a portfolio investment, which involves investing in a company's stocks or securities without gaining control. A demerger refers to the separation of a company into two or more entities, which is not applicable in this scenario.

    Rate this question:

  • 14.

      Portfolio investment

    • C.

      Acquisition

    • D.

      Merger

    Correct Answer
    A. Greenfield investment
    Explanation
    A greenfield investment refers to the establishment of a new subsidiary or business from scratch in a foreign country. In this case, GMI's subsidiary for component b in Thailand is described as a greenfield investment, suggesting that GMI has set up a new business entity in Thailand specifically for producing component b.

      Income payments

    • D.

      Merchandise

    Correct Answer
    A. Capital

    If Happyland is successful at attracting foreign investment, transactions involving those investments would appear in the country's capital. This is because foreign investments typically involve the transfer of capital from one country to another. Capital refers to financial assets or resources that are used to generate income or produce goods and services. Therefore, transactions related to foreign investments would be recorded under the capital account in the country's balance of payments.

    At this stage, the Moonland Union can be described as a free trade area because the countries have agreed to eliminate trade barriers among themselves. However, they have not yet established a common external trade policy or a common currency, which are characteristics of a customs union or a common market. Additionally, there is no indication that the countries have formed a political union or have integrated their political systems. Therefore, the correct answer is a free trade area.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    If these twenty-six nations continue to eliminate all barriers to trade among themselves and set a common trade policy against nonmembers, they would create a ________.

    • C.

      Customs union

    • D.

      Political union

    Correct Answer
    C. Customs union
    Explanation
    A customs union is a type of trading bloc in which member countries eliminate barriers to trade among themselves and adopt a common trade policy against nonmembers. This means that member countries would have a common external tariff on goods imported from nonmember countries. In this scenario, the twenty-six nations would create a customs union if they continue to eliminate trade barriers among themselves and establish a common trade policy against nonmembers.

This means that there are no restrictions or limitations imposed by the government on these bonds, making them more attractive to investors. Additionally, this lack of regulation may also imply that the bonds have more flexibility in terms of terms and conditions, which can be beneficial for both issuers and investors.

    • D.

      Exports on the world markets increases and the price of imports declines

    Correct Answer
    A. Exports on the world markets declines and the price of imports increases
    Explanation
    When a country's currency is weak, the price of its exports on the world markets declines. This is because a weak currency makes the country's goods and services cheaper for international buyers, leading to a decrease in export prices. On the other hand, the price of imports increases because a weak currency makes it more expensive to purchase goods and services from other countries. Therefore, a weak currency leads to a decline in export prices and an increase in import prices on the world markets.

This is a tool used by central banks to manage the economy and control inflation.

      Low rates of inflation

    • B.

    • D.

      An appreciating currency

    Correct Answer
    A. Low rates of inflation
    Explanation
    Low rates of inflation can force international companies to cancel proposed investments because it indicates a lack of demand and economic growth. When inflation is low, it suggests that consumer spending is weak and there is less potential for companies to make profits from their investments. Additionally, low inflation may also indicate a stagnant economy, which further discourages companies from investing. Therefore, international companies are more likely to cancel proposed investments in countries with low rates of inflation.
