With the analysis which the present country will be justified which will stated that the country will definitely have following balances and the proofs which will explain the best competitive results:-

The best option will be to Imported from country Z |
The best option will be to Locally produced product |
The best option will be to Locally produced product |

The best option will be to Imported from country X |
(Godwin, and Cook, 2018)
In the given case the situation is changed now the condition will be stated and expressed as below-
Country X as well as the Country Y are under the XYTRA act and therefore the 50 5 tax is nullified and the profit is considered to be 100 % therefore the changes will be

After the changes on the prices the best solution which can be opted in the given case will be listed and explained as follows:-
Country Host listed |
Product Analysis of P |
Product Analysis of Q |
Product Analysis of R |
X |
The best option will be to Locally produced product |
The best option will be to Imported from country X |
The best option will be to Imported from country X |
Y |
The best option will be to purchase from X |
The best option will be to Locally produced product |
The best option will be to Locally produced product |
Z |
The best option will be to IMPORT the produced product from country X |
The best option will be to IMPORT the produced product from country Y |
The best option will be to IMPORT the produced product from country Y |
The major reason being that the import tax is nullified and therefore between X Country and Y country the internal purchase must be done which shows the higher profit value as the tax is nullified and the pact is dully signed. Hence, as per profit margins the three products are distributed in P, Q, R. In terms with the product Z it is evident that the profits will be slashed by 50 percent as no pact is signed and no concession will be provided. Thus, in the given product which other of the two companies is providing higher profits to the country Z the respective products must be purchased from that respective organisation?
In the given condition the analysis is based on studying the small scale analysis of the domestic automobile manufacturers in the UK and how will the intervene and the international market which being the china who is itself a well established in the worldwide especially in relation to the pricing and the supply chain and distribution. In the given condition the option is to understand as to how the entry modes need to justified and demanded to assure that the china strategy is properly break through and the can provide better success margins and expanding internationally in a profitable manner. The option is compared as follows:
In the first option which being the Licensing the technology to a firm in China
In this context it is essential to understand how the UK does and China deals in terms with the Licensing and the technology transfer. On the more, the transfer of technologies may involve various forms and rules and regulations as well as the government compliances. Along with the involve significant as well as the sensitive issues deals with the proprietary confidential information. The major support will be in connection with the China’s Ministry of Commerce within 60 days of the effective date of the relevant contract along with the manufacturing and the prohibited restricted (Harris, 2020). The major concerns in this account of understanding the major issue which being the Chinese law prohibits a foreign licensor from disclaiming liabilities as well as the risks and the technologies of being the Chinese parties. The other objection which is being raised in connection of the whether the product will be marked as the Made in China” model to a “Made by China” model.
Concerns in the Unprotected Sector
In the second option which being Undertake FDI by acquiring a firm in China the major question which must be understood in the perspective of having the deals with the Chinese Equities along with the Government Bonds and the investment will be done in connection with the stability and deals with the government drive the economic globalization. It defines the size growth along with the governmental economic reform which will explain the segment of having the Sectoral along with the distribution along with the forms of investment which will define the wholly foreign-owned enterprises productivity along with the costing and the financial as well as the technological infrastructure. The best part is that the “export promotion development strategy. It will explain the situation where the china and the UK exploring this option the country which being the seller is defining the multilateral investment which will explain the protection plan along with the Promotion. Investment is strongly dominated under the regional priority and also impacted through the concept of having the Moving FDI towards more capital-intensive activities (Harris, 2020). The major counter is that the portfolio will be understood and explained in a manner which has to juggle under the Chinese equities and Chinese government bonds.
In the third option which is Undertake FDI by establishing a new firm (Greenfield investment) in China. This is a very difficult situation which is the company deals in the UK and the China Trade. Mainly, because the company will deal with the compliances of both the countries on the more, the FDI will deal with the regulations and the compliances will be routed throw both the country and the regulations and the government laws and binding. The other issue is that that the company will be defined with other cultural and the employment issues along with the consumers and the cultural barriers. The other factor will be foreign exchange and how the dealing will be managed. The benefit will be that the company can grow globally as the stake will be divided as well as the business can also prosper and deal with the foreign trading and foreign investment (Dhingra, Ottaviano, Rappoport, Sampson, Thomas, 2018).
In the given case of three conditions the best option which will be that electric car company must opt for the Licensing the technology to a firm in China along with the factor that the governmental and the regulation will also will be minimized and the profits can be better achieved.
