Hedging strategies are done with derivatives, such as options and futures contracts.
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of operating profit is shown below:-
Profit per unit = Purchase price from outside per unit + variable cost of production internally
= $15 - $7
= $8
Total increment in operating profit = Profit per unit × Total number of units
= $8 × 24,000
= $192,000
b. Minimum transfer price = Variable cost = $7 (because polk has overcapacity and there is no change in fixed cost and polk minimum has to recover its variable production cost)
c. Maximum transfer price = purchase cost from outside supplier = $15 (because if the internal transfer piece is more than $15 Bishop will lose so he prefers to buy from outside and the company as a whole will lose $192,000 in incremental operating profit

Explanation:
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Delivery costs are mixed and utilities are variable.
Variable costs are cost that changes in direct proportion to the level of production. This means that when the variable cost increases then more units are produced and decreases when less units are produced.
Mixed costs also known as semi-variable costs have properties of both fixed and variable costs due to the presence of both variable and fixed components in them.
In this case utilities is a variable cost, it increases as the units increase, while delivery cost is a mixed cost, it has the element of both fixed and variable.
A fixed cost does not change with the level of activity it remains the same.
Answer:
Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
No. of shares = 200,000
Market value per share = $20 each
Tax rate = 34%
Debt amount = $1,000,000
Market value of firm:
= Market value of equity + (Tax rate × Debt)
= (No. of shares × market value per share) + (Tax rate × Debt amount)
= (200,000 × $20) + (0.34 × $1,000,000)
= $4,000,000 + $340,000
= $4,340,000
= $4.340 million
The firm be worth after adding the debt is $4.340 million.
