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.

During 2016, Rao Co. introduced a new line of machines that carry a three-year warranty against manufacturer's defects. Based on
Over [174]

Answer:

$319,000

Explanation:

The computation of the liability is shown below:

= Total expenses in three year - actual warranty expenditure

where,

Total expenses in three years = Total sales × total percentage of sales

                                                = $6,200,000 × 9%

                                                = $558,000

And, the actual warranty expenditure is $239,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $558,000 - $239,000

=  $319,000

As mentioned in the video, the US produces an annual "List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor." How effective do y
lina2011 [118]

Answer and Explanation:

By publishing the "List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor" the American government is able to raise awareness among the population that, although child labor is something inconceivable in American society, it still happens with great intensity in various places around the world. This allows the population to become aware of this situation and to stop buying products produced by companies that finance and allow child labor to happen. When they stop using these products, companies suffer a decrease in demand, which can cause significant changes in the production and in the lives of children who need to work.

While consumer pressure at companies that allow child labor is effective, pressure from political and commercial authorities is more effective in bringing about change and ensuring the protection of children, as these authorities can promote severe punishments for those who allow this to happen.
