Answer:
The correct solution is "$6,564.01". A further solution is given below.
Explanation:
The given values are:
beta,
= 1.6
market return,
= 15%
cash flow,
= $2,000
risk free rate of interest,
= 3%
Now,
The stock return will be:
= 
= 
= 
The actual worth of the firm will be:
= 
= 
= 
= 
With 0.8 beta, the stock return will be:
= 
= 
= 
So that I'm paying for the firm,
= 
= 
= 
($)
Hence,
I'm paying,
= 
= 
($)
Answer:
(a) In case when Appraisal Department has excess capacity then minimum transfer will be:
($130.21 - $7.82) = $122.39
Minimum Transfer Price = $122.39
(b) In case when Appraisal Department has no excess capacity then minimum transfer price will be:
($130.21 - $7.82) + ($163 - $130.21) = $155.18
Minimum Transfer Price = $155.18
(c) No, the management should not force to charge the Home- Loan department only $150.42.
Answer:
A) The outsourcing costs $18 more per unit. It increases the cost by $18000
B) Price= $126
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Q= 10000 units
In-house:
Variable manufacturing cost= $110 unit
Fixed cost= $40 unit
Total cost= $150 unit
Outsource:
Price=$144 unit
Fixed cost= $40*0,60= $24
Total cost= $168
A) The outsourcing costs $18 more per unit. It increases the cost by $18000
B) The price that makes the decision indifferent is the one that equals unitary costs. We can't reduce fixed costs.
Price=144-18= $126
