Answer:
1. The firm does not have excess capacity.
Minimum transfer price on full capacity = Variable Cost + Contribution to be Lost
Minimum transfer price on full capacity = $360 + ($600 - $360)
Minimum transfer price on full capacity = $360 + $240
Minimum transfer price on full capacity = $600
Transfer Price = $600 per Unit (Market price per unit).
2. The firm does have excess capacity. Minimum transfer price on excess capacity = $360 per Unit (Standard Variable Manufacturing cost per unit).
Answer:
Net Present value = -$40,221
Explanation:
The net present value is the sum of the discounted cash-flows over the life of the project from t=0 to t=n.
Year Cash-flow PVIF Present Value
0 (55,500) 1.0000 (55,500)
1 2,700 0.9091 2,455
2 2,700 0.8264 2,231
3 2,700 0.7513 2,029
3 11,400 0.7513 <u>8,565 </u>
Net Present value (40,221)
The salvage value is treated as a cash-flow at the end of year 3 as that's the last year in which the project records a cash inflow. In this question, a negative net present value implies that the project is not profitable, and should therefore not be undertaken.
Answer:
Total earnings= $581.52
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Jane receives 16 cents for every unit produced. jane produces 3,512 pieces in a 43-hour workweek.
For overtime, Jane is paid a sum equal to one-half the regular hourly pay rate.
I will assume that Jane works evenly each hour.
<u>First, we will determine the number of units produced for an hour:</u>
<u />
Units for an hour= 3,512/43= 81.67 units
<u>Now, the total piece work and overtime:</u>
Piecework= 0.16*3,512= $561.92
Overtime= (81.67*3)*0.08= $19.6
Total earnings= $581.52
Answer:
The effects of inflation in the U.S. trading partner, will pass through the U.S. economy in the form of exports: since the U.S. imports goods from ABC islands, the higher prices in the ABC islands will make imports from there more expensive, contributing to a small raise in inflation in the overall U.S. economy.
However, exports from ABC Islands are likely to be a small component of U.S. Aggregate demand, so the effect in overall inflation is likely to be small.
Despite this, the fed can step in and raise interest rates by contracting the money supply. This is contractionary monetary policy, and it is used when inflation is rising. It lowers the value of the U.S. dollar in international markets, but it increases output price level.
