<span>The kidnappers have taken and holding eight people hostage at a farmhouse just outside town. If the Swat team assaults the farmhouse, hostages will be killed. If they give into the kidnappers' demands for ransom, hostages will be safe but the tactic will encourage more kidnappings of innocent people.The argument is an example of compromise. </span>

<span>Compromise is a  negotiation process in which both parties (Swat team and kidnappers)  give up something in order to get something else which they want more. It occurs  in win-lose situations – like in the example that there are hostages taken in. Each of the parties makes concessions in order to reach an agreement that is agreeable to both.</span>

algol13

Answer:

Minimum transfer price = $86

Explanation:

Pump Division  is operating at full capacity, hence it has no excess capacity

This implies that it can not produce enough to meet both the internal demand (from the Pool Division ) and external buyers.

Hence, it implies that Pump Division cannot accommodate the demands of the Pump Division  at a price lower than the  external price of $86. Any price lower than $86  would result into a loss in contribution.

To maximize and optimize the group profit, the minimum transfer price should be set as follows:

Minimum transfer price = External selling price at which Pump Division sells to outside customers

Minimum transfer price = $86

Olegator [25]

Answer:

The long run is best defined as a time period

  • during which all inputs can be varied.

One thing that distinguishes the short run and the long run is

  • the existence of at least one fixed input.

Explanation:

On the long run, all productive inputs can be changed and/or altered. that includes fixed costs like equipment and machinery, building facilities, processes, wages, etc.

On the short run, at least one of the inputs used to produce our goods or services cannot be changed, e.g. wages tend to be sticky, fixed costs (depreciation of equipment and machinery, buildings, etc.)

Partner Industries sells a single product for $50 that has a variable cost of $30. Fixed costs amount to $15 per unit when antic
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

$20.

Explanation:

As the question require us to calculate the profit when one unit in excess of break-even point is sold, so we have to calculate the break-even quantity first. The formula to calculate the break-even quantity is:

          Break-even Units = Fixed Cost / (Contribution Margin Per Unit)

where

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit

⇒ Break-even units = 15 / (50 - 30) = .75.

This makes the one unit in excess of break-even volume to be 1.75. Now, we have to draft the income statement to determine the operating profit when sales volume is 1.75.

                                               Income Statement

Revenue (50 * 1.75)                                                          $87.5

Variable Cost (30 * 1.75)                                                   (52.5)

Fixed Cost                                                                           (15)

Operating Profit                                                                $20
