Answer:
Minimum transfer price when operating at capacity is the marginal cost + opportunity cost
Maximum transfer price is marginal cost only, when not operating at capacity.
Explanation:
Minimum transfer price when operating at capacity is the marginal cost + opportunity cost because when operating at capacity there are 2 elements involved - the cost at which it has made the units it will be transferring to another department within the organisation, and the profit it would have made if it had sold those units to others (opportunity cost)
Maximum transfer price is marginal cost only, when not operating at capacity because the department is constrained, it can only produce for the satisfaction of internal demand, not external customers; hence there is no case of opportunity costs.
Answer:
15 ounces.
Explanation:
The first ounce is worth 0.40, and the additional x ounces are worth 0.25 each. So, the inequality should be Y > A + B * X, where Y is equal to 4, A is the value of the first ounce (0.4), B is the value of the additional ounces (0.25) and x is the quantity of additional ounces.
- 4 > 0.4 + x * 0.25
- 4 - 0.4 > 0.25x
- 3.6/0.25 > x
- 14,4 > x
14 is the maximum of additional ounces that can be mailed, we have to add the first one, for a total of 15 whole ounces that can be mailed for no more than $4.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
Why do businesses take financial costs into account other than social costs when making decisions.?
The reason why is because businesses are created to make profits. And financial costs directly impact sales, revenue, and profits. Any other consideration that does not directly affect the balance sheet or the bottom line, is not considered a priority and takes the back seat when business decisions are made.
On the other hand, the social cost should be important and it is, but not as important as the financial costs for the above-mentioned reasons.
Social costs are more on the side of the ethics of the managers or leaders of the organizations. And ethics and moral values are not a prominent thing to be considered in the decision-making process of modern corporations.
