There are several reasons why this type of projects are nearly impossible to stop once they have been approved, even when costs skyrocket.

First, it is difficult to stop these projects because, when these start, a lot of moeny is put into them. When the cost begins to skyrocket, people believe that to stop the project would mean wasting all the money already invested. This prevents people from stopping the projects.

Another reason is the fact that many different companies, investors and institutions are involved in these projects. Coordination is difficult, and pmany parties have a vested interest in the completion of such works. This makes it difficult for the different parties to agree on the right moment to stop.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is A) $2.800

  2. Finding the depreciation per year: Depreciation/year = \frac{Depreciable cost (56,000)}{Asset useful life (7 years)} = $8000
  3. Finally, the depreciation tax shield for 2018: Depreciation tax shield = Dep/year ($8,000) * tax rate (0,35) = $2,800

liq [111]

Answer:

a. $11

b. $35

c. If the transferring division does not have excess capacity,this would mean that some units that could have been sold externally would be transferred internally and this creates an opportunity cost. Opportunity costs increase the transfer price.However no opportunity cost exist if transferring division has excess capacity and hence a lower transfer price.

Explanation:

The minimum acceptable price is the price that is acceptable to the transferring division and out of a range of acceptable prices, it is that which would be the best for the company.

When there is excess capacity.

Note : No opportunity costs would exist.

Minimum acceptable price = Variable Cost - Internal Savings + Opportunity Cost

                                            = $11

When there is excess capacity.

Note : Opportunity costs would exist.

Minimum acceptable price = Variable Cost - Internal Savings + Opportunity Cost

                                            = $11 + ($35 - $11 )

                                            = $35

Why Capacity of transferring division (Small Motor Division) has an effect on the transfer price.

If the transferring division does not have excess capacity,this would mean that some units that could have been sold externally would be transferred internally and this creates an opportunity cost. Opportunity costs increase the transfer price.However no opportunity cost exist if transferring division has excess capacity and hence a lower transfer price.
