A. The transfer price range is between $112 and $136.

B. If a transfer is made at <u>$130</u>, the firm profits will reduce by $1,500,000.

<h3>What is an acceptable transfer price?</h3>

The acceptable transfer price ranges between the variable costs of the producing department or the variable costs plus a calculated opportunity cost.

The opportunity cost represents the lost cost with the transfer when the division could have gone ahead with an external sale instead.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Offer from the Assembly Division = 90,000 batteries

Offer transfer price = $104 per unit

Current production per year = 250,000 units

Current external selling price = $136 per unit

External cost per unit = $130

<h3>Production Costs of the Electrical Division:</h3>

Direct materials,                $40

Direct labor,                        20

Variable factory overhead, 12

Total variable costs per unit = $72

Opportunity cost per unit = $64 ($136 - $72)

Fixed factory overhead,    40

Total,                               $ 112

A. The transfer price range is between $112 and $136.

B. If a transfer is made at $130, the firm profits will be less by $1,500,000 (250,000 x $130 - $136).

Sunset Corp. has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 5.94 percent and semiannual payments. The yield to maturity is 5.1 per
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

$2,189.76

Explanation:

<em>The price of a bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash inflows expected from the bond discounted using the yield to maturity.</em>

<em>The price of the bond can be calculated as follows:</em>

<em>Step 1</em>

<em>PV of interest payment</em>

Interest payment =( 5.94%× $2000)/2

= $59.4

Semi annual yield = 5.1/2 = 2.6%

PV of interest payment

= 59.4× (1-(1.026)^(-20×2))/0.026)

= 59.4 × 24.41400537

=<em>$ 1,450.19</em>

Step 2

<em>PV of  redemption value</em>

=  2,000 × (1+0.051)^(-20)

= 2,000 × 0.369781925

=   739.56

Step 3

<em>Price of bond  </em>

= $1,450.19 + $739.56  

=$2,189.76

An investor holds a 6% callable bond purchased at 105. If the issuer calls the bond before maturity, the yield to call (YTC) rea
myrzilka [38]

Answer: less than the coupon

Explanation:

When a bond that is bought at a premium of 205 is called before the bond matures by the issuer, this implies that the accelerated premium loss will have to be reflected in calculated yield to maturity.

It should also be noted that the YTC is the lowest among the yields for the premium bonds. Therefore, if the issuer calls the bond before maturity, the yield to call (YTC) realized by the investor would be less than the coupon.

Option B is correct.

Ludmilka [50]

The price elasticity of demand for apples is 1.2.  

This implies that the demand relatively prices elastic.  

Elastic demand means that a proportionate change in the price of apples will cause more than proportionate change in the quantity demanded.
