Division of Chen then assembles and packages such items as blenders and juicers. Both divisions are free to buy and sell any of their components internally or externally. The following costs relate to small motor LN233 on a per unit basis.
Fixed cost per unit $ 5
Variable cost per unit $11
Selling price per unit $35 Instructions
(a) Assuming that the Small Motor Division has excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of small motor LN233 to the Household Division.
(b) Assuming that the Small Motor Division does not have excess capacity, compute the min-imum acceptable price for the transfer of the small motor to the Household Division.

Answer:

a. $11

b. $35

c. If the transferring division does not have excess capacity,this would mean that some units that could have been sold externally would be transferred internally and this creates an opportunity cost. Opportunity costs increase the transfer price.However no opportunity cost exist if transferring division has excess capacity and hence a lower transfer price.

Explanation:

The minimum acceptable price is the price that is acceptable to the transferring division and out of a range of acceptable prices, it is that which would be the best for the company.

When there is excess capacity.

Note : No opportunity costs would exist.

Minimum acceptable price = Variable Cost - Internal Savings + Opportunity Cost

                                            = $11

When there is excess capacity.

Note : Opportunity costs would exist.

Minimum acceptable price = Variable Cost - Internal Savings + Opportunity Cost

                                            = $11 + ($35 - $11 )

                                            = $35

Why Capacity of transferring division (Small Motor Division) has an effect on the transfer price.

If the transferring division does not have excess capacity,this would mean that some units that could have been sold externally would be transferred internally and this creates an opportunity cost. Opportunity costs increase the transfer price.However no opportunity cost exist if transferring division has excess capacity and hence a lower transfer price.

4. The price of trucks falls, so factories produce more cars : Decrease in 'price of related goods' - increases (rightward shifts) supply curve.

5. The government announces a plan to offer tax rebates for the purchase of commuter rail tickets : 'Expectations' regarding rise in relative price of cars - decreases (leftward shifts) supply curve.

Gerard, an adult, contracts with Communiserve to purchase, in installments over a period of five years, a very large quantity of
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

a. Gerard’s contract is voidable at his option while it is entirely executory.

Explanation:

In the United States of America, one of the most widely used recognized and most cited legal treatises is the Restatement of Contracts. It allows legal luminaries (judges and lawyers) to have a general understanding of non-binding authorities in contract or common law.

According to the Restatement (second) of Contract, voidable contract is one where one or more parties have the power, by a manifestation of election to do so, to avoid the legal relations created by the contract, or by ratification of the contract to extinguish the power of avoidance.

Hence, under the Restatement, Gerard’s contract is voidable at his option while it is entirely executory.

63. In most states, whether the time within which a minor disaffirms a contract constitutes a reasonable time is determined by the fact and circumstance of the case.

kaheart [24]

Answer:

Method b

Explanation:

Present worth can be calculated using a financial calculator

For method A ,

Cash flow in year 0 = $80,000

Cash flow in year 1 and 2 = $30,000

Cash flow in year 3 = $30,000 - $15,000 = $15,000

I = 12%

Present worth = $141,378.23

For method B,

Cash flow in year 0 = $120,000

Cash flow in year 1 and 2 = $8, 000

Cash flow in year 3 = $8,000 - $40,000 = $-32,000

I = 12%

Present worth = $110,743.44

Method b would is chosen because it worth less.

To find the present worth using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute
