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.

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 its first year of operations, Silverman Company paid $11,625 for direct materials and $11,000 for production workers' wag
ella [17]

Answer:

$7,750

Explanation:

The computation of the net income for the first year is shown below:

but before that following calculations needed

The Cost of production is

= Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead

= $11,625 + $11,000 + $10,000

= $32,625

The Unit product cost is

= $32,625 ÷  7,250 units

= $4.50 per unit

Now  

Cost of goods sold = Number of units sold × cost per unit

= 4,500 units × $4.50

= $20,250

And, finally

Net Income = Sales revenue - COGS - general, selling, and administrative expenses

= (4,500 units × $7) - $20,250 - $3,500

= $7,750

The ABC Corporation issues a $1,000 bond, with an interest rate of 4%, and a maturity date of 2015. This creates a liability for
Bogdan [553]

This creates a liability for the ABC Corporation to pay the bondholder $100 in annual interest and $1000 in 2015.

<h3>What is the interest rate?</h3>

The cost of borrowing due each period expressed as a percentage of the money loaned, banked, or financed is known as an interest rate.

The interest can be paid annually, half-yearly or quarterly.

As the rate at which the interest was given was 10% and the dividend should be paid to the company on an equal basis, so the amount will be around $100 every year also which means that there will be 1000 to be paid at the end of 2015 deducting $100 from $1100.
