A multidomestic company identifies a risk that regulations in some national markets will likely change over time. Such changes could impact product design and distribution in each market and have varying impacts on the company's financial success. What technique would best address the possible impacts of this risk when formulating strategic plans?

Two products, qi and vh, emerge from a joint process. product qi has been allocated $34,300 of the total joint costs of $55,000. a total of 2,900 units of product qi are produced from the joint process. product qi can be sold at the split-off point for $11 per unit, or it can be processed further for an additional total cost of $10,900 and then sold for $13 per unit. if product qi is processed further and sold, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company compared with sale in its unprocessed form directly after the split-off point?
