Johnson Corp. has two divisions, Division A and Division B. Division B has asked Division A to supply it with 5,000 units of par

t WD26 this year to use in one of its products. Division A has th capacity to produce 25,000 units of part WD26 per year. Division A expects to sell 21,000 units of part WD26 to outside customers this year at a price of $20.00 per unit. To fill the order from Division B, Division A would have to cut back its sales to outside customers. Division A's variable manufacturing cost (direct labor + direct material + variable overhead) for part WD26 is $12.00 per unit. The variable selling cost when selling to outside customers is $2.00 per unit. This variable selling cost would not have to be incurred on sales of the parts to Division B.
1. Calculate Division A's minimum acceptable transfer price.

2. Baker Inc. has approached Division B and has offered to sell 5,000 units of the part for $18 per unit. Division B can either purchase the part from Baker Inc. or transfer it from Division A. How much does the overall profit of Johnson Inc. increase or decrease, if Division B accepts Baker's offer and declines to transfer any units from Division A.

Answer:

1. $13.50

2. Decrease in Profit : $ 22,500

Explanation:

<em>Minimum Transfer Price = Variable Costs - Internal Savings + Opportunity Cost</em>

       = $12.00 + $2.00 - $2.00 + 1,000/4,000 × ($20.00 - ($12.00 + $2.00))

       = $12.00 + $1.50

       = $13.50

<em>Maximum Transfer Price can never be more than what the receiving division (Division B can purchase externally)</em>

Maximum Transfer Price = $18.00

Division B will incur more costs when it accepts Baker's offer and declines to transfer any units from Division A. Hence decrease in Profit)

Decrease in Profit = 5,000 units × ($18.00 - $13.50)

                              = $ 22,500

Suppose economists observe that an increase in government spending of $10 billion raises the total demand for goods and services
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer: 2/3

Explanation: Crowding out may described as an effect which stems from government involvement in an economic market resulting in the reduction of personal consumer goods or investments and businesses due to rising interest rates and low capital accumulation.

In the question above, if crowding out is ignored, The marginal propensity to consume(MPC) will be:

Multiplier = $30 billion ÷ $10 billion = 3

Multiplier = 1÷ (1 - MPC)

3 = 1 ÷ (1 - MPC)

3(1 - MPC) = 1

3 - 3MPC = 1

-3MPC = 1-3

-3MPC = - 2

MPC = 2/3

Suppose that business travelers and vacationers have the following demand for airline tickets from New York to Boston:
Furkat [3]

Answer

Price elasticiy of demand for business travelers: -0.16

Price elasticity of demand for vacationers: -0.29

Explanation:

To find the price elasticy of demand (PED) using the midpoint method, we use the following formula:

PED = \frac{(Q2-Q1)/[(Q2+Q1)/2]}{(P2-P1)/[(P2+P1/2]}

Where Q2 and P2 are the new quantity demanded and new price respectively, and Q1 and P1 are the old quantity demanded and price.

Plugging the amounts into the formula we obtain the results of the answer.

Because both results are in absolute value less than one (0.16 and 0.29), we can say that the PED of tickets, for both vacationers and Business traveleres, is relatively inelastic. (Demand falls less in proportion to the change in price).

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

d. bad timing

Explanation:

Remember the principle of first entry advantage which says that the first entrant to a market has better advantage of gaining more market share over late entrants.

This was true in the Tablet market which saw Apple's iPad been the very first commercially sold tablet devices. Because of wrong/late timing when Apple introduced its next-generation iPad2 the HP tablet came in struggling to get a part of the already captured tablet market by Apple's iPad.

meriva

Answer:

r = 3% inflation

FV = 25,000

We know that FV = PV(1+r)^n

25,000 = PV(1+0.03)^9

PV = 25,000/ 1.3047731

PV = 19,160.42, this is how much it worth today

If businesses are producing at capacity, and the nation is experiencing almost full employment (a very low rate of unemployment
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question is D) interest rates would be increased  by the government when there is almost full employment in the economy.

Explanation:

When in the economy, business are producing close to productivity and in the nation there is almost full employment , then it can be said that the economy is booming . Which means there is good amount of money supply in the economy and people are spending robustly and that means the demand is high , which ultimately tells that the prices of goods and services are high.

So to cut the prices, government will increase the interest rate which will lead to the increase in cost of borrowing, and that will cause decrease in money supply and demand will ultimately fall, which leads to decrease in prices of goods and services.
