Answer:
1) B
2) A
3) D
Explanation:
1) Discount yield(%) = Face value - Purchase value/Face value X 360/Maturity ( in days) X 100%
Discount yield (quote) = 5.11; Face value = $10,000; Let Purchase value = x; Maturity = 90 days
(5.11)% = $(10,000 - x)/$10,000 X 360/90 X 100%
5.11 = 400(10,000 - x)/10,000
x = 4,000,000 - 51100/400 = 3,948,900 = $9,872.25
3) Face value = $10,000; Purchase value = $9,850; Maturity = 120 days
Investor's bond equivalent yield(%) = $(10,000 - 9,850)10,000 X 360/120 X 100%
= 45/10 = 4.5%

Answer:
Note: The full question is attached as picture below
a. Let X is denoted as company’s monthly demand, P(X=x) is denoted as the probability of the company’s monthly demand.
The expected value is obtained below:
E(X) = (300*0.20) + (400*0.30) + (500*0.35) + (600*0.15)
E(X) = 60+120+175+90
E(X) = 445
b. The expected value of the monthly demand is 445. The each unit demands the revenue to generate is $70 and their cost is $50.
The gain/loss of the company = (300*(70−50)) - (145*50)
The gain/loss of the company = (300*20) - (145*50)
The gain/loss of the company = 6,000 - 7,250
The gain/loss of the company =−$1,250(Loss)
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.
