Answer:

E.inefficient producing divisions could pass on their inefficiencies to buying divisions in the transfer price.

Explanation:

The transfer price refers to that price in which the one firm is charging the prices from the other firm with respect to the service rendered. It is based on price charged in the market

To find out the transfer price we considered the standard cost instead of the actual cost as the divisions may be have more actual cost as compare to the standard cost which resulted into the inefficiency that impact the buying based on the transfer price

Answer:

The annual payment have a better present value. It is $40,770,979 to $36,000,000.

After tax-basis we are $40,770,979 more richier

IRR for the prize 5.45%

Explanation:

we will use the NY state discount rate:

60,000,000 x (1- 40%) = 36,000,000 after-tax

second option:

5,000,000 x (1-40%) = 3,000,000 after-tax

we calculate the present value of a 20 year annuity for 5,000,000 dollars with a 4% discount rate.

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 3,000,000

time 20

rate 0.04

$3000000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.04)^{-20} }{0.04} = PV\\$

PV $40,770,979.0349

As this option is better than the upfront payment, it is better to take the annual payment.

We can determinate the real rate of return

We consider 60,000,000 upfront against 20 payment of 5,000,000 the rate will be calcualte with goal seek excel tool or trial and error manually:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 5,000,000

time 20

PV $60,000,000.0000

$5000000 \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-20} }{r} = PV\\$

rate = 0.05450114 = 5.45%

notice: that with this rate if we apply the tax rate we got the same rate:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 3,000,000

time 20

PV $36,000,000.0000

$5000000 \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-20} }{r} = PV\\$

rate = 0.05450114 = 5.45%

Black Bear Auto Company incurred $120,000 of indirect advertising costs for its operations. The following 2017 data have been co

Alex

Answer:

a. Allocating cost using direct advertising costs

We have:

Cost allocated to New Cars = $60,000

Cost allocated to Used Cars = $48,000

Cost allocated to Parts and Service = $12,000

b. Allocating cost using Newspaper ad space

We have:

Cost allocated to New Cars = $72,000

Cost allocated to Used Cars = $36,000

Cost allocated to Parts and Service = $12,000

c. Allocating cost using Sales

We have:

Cost allocated to New Cars = $60,000

Cost allocated to Used Cars = $48,000

Cost allocated to Parts and Service = $12,000

Explanation:

Given:

New Cars Used Cars Parts and Service

Direct advertising costs $30,000 $24,000 $6,000

Newspaper ad space 60% 30% 10%

Sales $250,000 $200,000 $50,000

The costs allocated to each department can now be calculated as follows:

a. Allocating cost using direct advertising costs

The indirect advertising costs can be allocated using the following formula:

Cost allocated to a department = (Direct advertising costs of the department / Sum of direct advertising costs of the 3 departments) * Indirect advertising costs ................... (1)

Using equation (1), we have:

Cost allocated to New Cars = ($30,000 / ($30,000 + $24,000 +$6,000)) * $120,000 = $60,000

Cost allocated to Used Cars = ($24,000 / ($30,000 + $24,000 +$6,000)) * $120,000 = $48,000

Cost allocated to Parts and Service = ($6,000 / ($30,000 + $24,000 +$6,000)) * $120,000 = $12,000

b. Allocating cost using Newspaper ad space

The indirect advertising costs can be allocated using the following formula:

Cost allocated to a department = Percentage of Newspaper ad space of the department * Indirect advertising costs ................... (2)

Using equation (2), we have:

Cost allocated to New Cars = 60% * $120,000 = $72,000

Cost allocated to Used Cars = 30% * $120,000 = $36,000

Cost allocated to Parts and Service = 10% * $120,000 = $12,000

c. Allocating cost using Sales

The indirect advertising costs can be allocated using the following formula:

Cost allocated to a department = (Sales of the department / Sum of Sales of the 3 departments) * Indirect advertising costs ................... (3)

Using equation (3), we have:

Cost allocated to New Cars = ($250,000 / ($250,000 + $200,000 + $50,000)) * $120,000 = $60,000

Cost allocated to Used Cars = ($200,000 / ($250,000 + $200,000 + $50,000)) * $120,000 * $120,000 = $48,000

Cost allocated to Parts and Service = ($50,000 / ($250,000 + $200,000 + $50,000)) * $120,000 * $120,000 = $12,000

First Simple Bank pays 6.4 percent simple interest on its investment accounts. If First Complex Bank pays interest on its accoun

Ksju [112]

Answer:

$i =0.050713..$ or

$approximately \ 5.0713..\%$

Explanation:

Assume an investment of $1.00

First Simple Bank:

Amount after 6 years = 1 + PRT

= 1 + 1(0.064)(10)

= 1.64

Complex Bank:

$1*(1+i)^{10} = 1.64$

Take 10th root of both sides

$( (1+i)^ {10})*(\frac{1}{10} ) = 1.64^{\frac{1}{10}}$

$1+i = 1.050713..$

$i =0.050713..$

$approximately \ 5.0713..\%$
