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

Ber [7]

Answer: True

Explanation:

This statement is true. Dan Pink argued that when it came to creative businesses, it would be best to use intrinsic as opposed to extrinsic rewards to encourage employees as extrinsic rewards such as money could constrain creativity.

Net Present Value Method
arsen [322]

Answer:

year               net cash flow

0                     -$150,000

1                        $80,000

2                       $65,000

3                       $50,000

4                       $40,000

A) NPV = -$150,000 + ($80,000 x .87) + ($65,000 x .756) + ($50,000 x .658) + ($40,000 x .572) = -$150,000 + $69,600 + $49,140 + $32,900 + $22,880 = -$150,000 + $174,520 = $24,520

B) Yes , because the net present value indicates that the return on the proposal is greater than the minimum desired rate of return of 15%. Since the NPV is positive ($24,520), it means that the cash inflows are higher than the cash outflows when we use a 15% discount rate.
