Delta Telephone ltd. ,a subsidiary of a multinational company is a supplier of telephone services to a medium sized community in Ghana.

The manager of a microchip (chip for short) manufacturing firm can choose from various production technologies and must determine whether or not to (a) move part of their production to a foreign plant, and (b) use the same technology in their foreign plant that they use in their domestic plant. Chip manufacturers can produce using either sophisticated equipment and relatively few workers (prevalent choice in the US) or many workers and less complex equipment (prevalent choice abroad). U.S. chip firms have been moving much of their production abroad for many years. Worldwide sales of chips made in the U.S. dropped from 66% in 1976 to 34% in 1998, and to 17% in 2011, then rose slightly to 21% in early 2015. U.S. chip firms moved their production abroad because of lower taxes, lower labor costs, and capital grants provided by foreign governments. These grants reduce the cost of operating a foreign facility by as much as 25%, compared to the costs of running a U.S. plant.…
