Answer:

Minimum transfer price = $21

Explanation:

<em>Transfer price is the price at which goods are exchange between branches or divisions of the same group</em>

<em>Where  a division is operating at the less than the existing capacity, to optimist the group profit, the minimum transfer price should be set as follows</em>

Minimum transfer price = Variable cost

Note that the fixed of $12 per unit (i.e 33-21) is irrelevant for this purpose, whether or not Hinges produces, it will be incurred either way.

It is worthy of note that there is no opportunity cost associated with any transfer to the Doors division because Hinges is currently having excess capacity.

Therefore, any offering price equal to or above the variable cost of $21 would be acceptable and optimize the group profit.

Hence, the minimum transfer price = $21

Answer:

E. Division of the burden of a tax between the buyer and the seller

Explanation:

Tax incidence is an economic term for the division of a tax burden between buyers and sellers. Tax incidence is related to the price elasticity of supply and demand.

All of the following statements are true regarding earnings per common share (EPS) except:
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

d) EPS cannot be calculated if a company has no preferred stock.

Explanation:

The above statement is untrue about E.P.S because the reason why 'Preferred dividend' (which is dividend on preference shares)  is subtracted from Net Income, before being divided by the 'Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding' is for comparability.

Since the denominator is based on 'common shares' or 'ordinary shares', it makes sense not to include the part of income that has fallen to preferred shares.

As a matter of fact there are a lot of companies that do not have preferred stock and still report Earnings Per Share on their financial statements.

Finally, still on comparability; E.P.S helps to compare the performance of big companies that have preferred stock with small companies that do not have. Hence EPS can be calculated even when there is no preferred stock.
