Answer:
transfer price 3.31
Explanation:
the minimun transfer price should be equal to the marginal cost:
In this case: variable manufacturing cost + shipping cost.
variable cost 3.1
shipping cos 0.21
marginal price 3.31 = cost of produce an additional unit = transfer price
there is no additional fixed cost so this should be the transfer price.
Answer:
Specialization and the division of labor can increase productivity.
Explanation:
Specialization is about an <em>invidivual</em> focusing on very specific tasks that are best suited to them according to their skills and knowledge. This concept can be applied to <em>companies</em> and <em>countries</em>, as they specialize on producing a small amount of products they excel at, for having the raw material, knowledge and/or technology to do so.
The division of labor is about breaking down the production process of a good in <em>different parts</em> performed by <em>different people</em> instead of having all workers performing all the tasks. The idea is to let workers be <em>specialists</em> in a small amout of tasks so that they can be more efficient and overall productivity can be greatly increased. This concept was introduced by the <u>'father of economics'</u> Adam Smith in his book "The Wealth of Nations" released in 1776.
Specialization and division of labor are complementing concepts that bring a company an increase in productivity and helps achieve economies of scale.
Answer:
$190,000
Explanation:
Regis produces 30,000 plugs per year and its overhead costs are $8, so their variable costs are $28 per plug (=$36 - $8).
Orlan offers to sell them the same plugs at $33 per plug, which means that Regis will be paying $5 more per plug than its own variable costs.
Regis costs will increase $5 x 30,000 = $150,000 per year.
Its fixed costs will decrease by $60,000 if they decide to purchase the plugs.
Plus it can rent the facilities at XXX per year? since it plans to have $100,000 in net savings per year:
$100,000 = $60,000 + XXX - $150,000
$100,000 = XXX - $90,000
XXX = $190,000
This statement is false.
Skill-based pay systems actually do support empowerment of employees. This is because they will be paid according to what they know and what skills they already have which is why they will obviously want to become even better if they want to be paid more.
