The company was established in 1983 as the sole national car company until the advent of Perodua in 1993. Proton is a Malay acronym for Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Sendirian Berhad. (National Automobile Company Private Limited). approved by the Cabinet in 1982, leading to the official founding of Proton on 7 May 1983. The company was initially wholly owned by the government of Malaysia through Khazanah Nasional and was headed by its founder, Dr. Mahathir. Proton approached Mitsubishi Motors between 1983 and 1984 and brokered a joint venture between both companies for the production of the first Malaysian car. The result of the collaboration was the Proton Saga, which launched on 9 July 1985.[3] It was based on the second generation 1983 Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore 4-door saloon and powered by a 1.3-litre Mitsubishi Orion 4G13 engine. The first Proton Saga to roll off the production line in Shah Alam is preserved in the Muzium Negara as a symbol of the beginning of the Malaysian automotive industry. Sales of the new Saga outstripped supply and Proton struggled to meet the growing demand, but by mid-1986 it had captured a 64% majority domestic market share in the Below 1600cc segment.[4] Later in October 1987, a hatchback variant called the Proton Saga...

Creative clusters and innovation Putting creativity on the map Foreword No one doubts the economic importance of the creative industries to the UK. At 6.2 per cent of the economy, and growing at twice the rate of other sectors, they are proportionately the largest of any in the world. But there is some evidence that the UK’s creative industries support innovation and growth in other parts of the economy too. The significance of these spillovers has only recently begun to be examined rigorously. And we know next to nothing about their geographical dimensions. This gap in our understanding is what NESTA set out to address in Creative Clusters...

...Is the placement of the products going to influence their price? Minjun Yu ECON 4980 Introduction In today’s commodity economy, it is no longer only about manufacturing, transportation, cost, profit, supply, demand, etc. There are many other factors that matters in the sales of the commodity. For many years, retailers have been searching for methods to help them identify ways to improve their merchandise presentation (Ron Larson).One of the methods that retailers used to improve the sales is the display of the products in the aisles. Bezawada has said in his reach that “retailers can benefit substantially by having better placement of items in their aisles,” (Ram Bezawada). Bezawada’s research shows that aisle placements can influence sales across product categories as much as other marketing variables, such as price or how an item is displayed (Jacqueline Ghosen, 2009). According to some researches, changing the allocation of the products will increase the weekly sales by more than 9% (Jacqueline Ghosen, 2009). From all these research, we can see that products placement is one of the most important factor that going to influence retailer’s profits. Putting products in the right place will bring more benefits. In marketing field, there are also some important theories about placement of products. It is called marketing mix which is usually refers to E. Jerome McCarthy's 4P classification for developing an effective marketing strategy. It encompasses product, price, placement...

... In addition, these rates give my design engineers incentives to ‘design out’ direct labour by using machine technology. Yet over the past years as we have had less and less direct labour, the overhead rate keeps going up and up. I won’t be surprised if next year the rate is $2,500 per direct labour hour. I’m also concerned because small errors in our estimates of the direct labour content of a job can have a large impact on our estimated costs. Just a 30 minute error in our estimate of assembly time is worth $1,000. Small mistakes in our direct labour time estimates can really swing our bids around. I think this puts us at a disadvantage when we are going after business.” What is the engineers concern about the OH rate going up? What is the issue about placing bids and seeking new business? What do you think is a possible solution? 2 Lecture 4 – ABC and Process Costing 1 ACCT7107 Background: what are the relevant...

...We discuss these arguments and examine descriptive and empirical evidence that sheds light on the role of fair-value accounting for U.S. banks in the crisis. While large losses can clearly cause problems for banks and other financial institutions, the relevant question for our article is whether reporting these losses under fair-value accounting created additional problems. Similarly, it is clear that determining fair values for illiquid assets in a crisis is very difficult, but did reporting fair values of illiquid assets make matters worse? Would the market have reacted differently if banks had not reported their losses or used a different set of accounting Christian Laux is Professor of Finance, Vienna University of Economics and Business,...

...Journal of Economic Perspectives—Volume 24, Number 1—Winter 2010—Pages 93–118 Did Fair-Value Accounting Contribute to the Financial Crisis? Christian Laux and Christian Leuz I n its pure form, fair-value accounting involves reporting assets and liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value and recognizing changes in fair value as gains and losses in the income statement. When market prices are used to determine fair value, fair-value accounting is also called mark-to-market accounting. Some critics argue that fair-value accounting exacerbated the severity of the 2008 financial crisis. The main allegations are that fair-value accounting contributes to excessive leverage in boom periods and leads to excessive write-downs in busts. The write-downs due to falling market prices deplete bank capital and set off a downward spiral, as banks are forced to sell assets at “fire sale” prices, which in turn can lead to contagion as prices from asset fire sales of one bank become relevant for other banks. These arguments are often taken at face value, but evidence on problems created by fair-value accounting is rarely provided. We discuss these arguments and examine descriptive and empirical evidence that sheds light on the role of fair-value accounting for U.S. banks in the crisis. While large losses can clearly cause problems for banks and other financial institutions, the relevant question for our article is whether reporting these losses under fair-value accounting...
