A company has two divisions and evaluates management using return on investment. Division 1 currently makes a part that it sells

to Division 2 and to outside customers. The selling price to Division 2 is $25, variable cost is $18, and fixed costs are $80,000. Division 1 wants to increase the selling price to $28.
Division 2 can purchase the same part from an outside supplier for $26; however, if Division 2 gets the parts from the outside supplier, Division 1 will end up with excess capicity.

From an overall company perspective:

a. Division 1 should continue to do business with Division 2 and charge $28 per part.

b. Divison 1 should continue to do business with Division 2 and charge $25 per part.

c. Division 1 should continue to do business with Division 2 because Division 1's variable cost per part is only $18.

d. Division 2 should do business with the outside supplier.

e. Division 2 should split its business between Division 1 and the outside supplier.

Answer:

c. Division 1 should continue to do business with Division 2 because Division 1's variable cost per part is only $18.

Explanation:

Since the variable cost per part is only $18 and Division 1  sells to Division 2 at $25, it is in the company's overall interest that business should continue between the two divisions.

The cost of getting the part from outside is $26.  This will incur more cost to the company and create excess capacity for Division 1.

Fixed costs are not relevant in making a decision of this nature.  The costs would be incurred irrespective of the decision made.  They are therefore irrelevant.  The relevant cost is the variable cost of $18 per unit.  It should be the focus of the decision, including the possibility of excess capacity for Division 1.

If 7000 dollars is invested in a bank account at an interest rate of 7 per cent per year, Find the amount in the bank after 14 y
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

1. Interest compounded annually = $18,049.74

2. Interest compounded quarterly = $18,493.77

3. Interest compounded Monthly = $18,598.16

4. Interest compounded continuously = $18,651.19

Explanation:

First let me state the formula for compound interest:

The future value of a certain amount which is compounded is the total amount (Principal + interest) on the amount of money, after compound interests have been applied, and this is shown below:

FV = PV (1+\frac{r}{n} )^{n*t}

where:

FV = Future value

PV = Present value = $7,000

r = interest rate in decimal = 0.07

n = number of compounding periods per year

t = compounding period in years = 14

For interests compounded continuously, the Future value is given as:

FV = PV × e^{r*t}

where

e is a mathematical constant which is = 2.7183

Now to calculate each on the compounding periods one after the other:

1. Interest compounded annually:

here n (number of compounding periods annually) = 1

Therefore,

FV = 7,000 × (1+\frac{0.07}{1})^{14}

FV = 7,000 × 1.07^{14} = $18,049.74

2. Interest compounded quarterly:

here, n = 3 ( there are 4 quarters in a year)

FV = 7,000 × (1+\frac{0.07}{4} )^{4*14}

FV = 7,000 × 1.0175^{56} = $18,493.77

3. Interest compounded Monthly:

here n = 12 ( 12 months in a year)

FV = 7,000 × (1+\frac{0.07}{12} )^{12*14}

FV = 7,000 × 1.005833^{168} = $18,598.16

4. Interests compounded continuously:

FV = PV × e^{0.07 * 14}

FV = 7,000 × 2.66446 = $18,651.19

Partner Industries sells a single product for $50 that has a variable cost of $30. Fixed costs amount to $5 per unit when antici
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

b. $20.

Explanation:

Regardless of what the break-even volume is, at this volume profits are zero.

This means that any unit sold beyond this point will provide a profit equivalent to its marginal benefit, which is its selling price subtracted by its variable cost.

If a product sells for $50 and has a variable cost of $30, by selling one unit in excess of its break-even volume, the profit will be:

P= \$50-\$30 =\$20

The profit will be $20.

When Nintendo sets a relatively low price on game units to stimulate more demand for its game cartridges, it is using
torisob [31]

Answer:

Letter A is correct.<em> Complementary product pricing.</em>

Explanation:

Organizations use the strategy of adopting a complementary product pricing to increase the total profit of a product group.

This strategy is used when the company sells products that are complementary, ie the use of one is complemented by the use of the other, so the company substantially decreases the price of a product, usually just to cover costs, and guarantees gains from a product with a high price and very high profit margin.

The benefits added to the complementary price of a product are market gain, competitors' entry barriers and retention and attraction of new consumers.
