Answer:
Stone Foods produces the majority of its cheese products in its U.S. based dairy division at a total outlay cost of $6.00 per unit. A large portion of the finished product is sold to Division B where it is packaged and sold overseas under a different label. The tax rate in Division B's country is higher than the U.S. tax rate. Assume the company desires to minimize the overall tax impact of the transfer (i) what type of relative pre-tax income should each division desire to achieve as a result of the transfer and (ii) what type of transfer price would accomplish your answer to (i).
Dairy Division Income Division B Income Transfer Price
.
Option "D" is the correct answer - High Low High.
Explanation:
Since in Division B, the tax rate is higher than the tax rate in US-based dairy division. Therefore to minimize the impact of the overall tax, transfer price from dairy division should be high to Division B so that the dairy division income would be higher. and the income of Division B would be lower.
Hence option "D" is the correct answer.

Answer:
Balance after 30 years = $151,018.50
Explanation:
In order to calculate this, we will calculate the future value on an amount invested, gaining interest over the years of investment, and this is given by:
where:
FV = future value
PV = present value
r = interest rate
t = time in years.
Hence the future value is calculated as follows:
1. For the first 10 years at 7% interest:
7% interest = 7/100 = 0.07
2. For the last 20 years at 9.5%(0.095) interest:
Note that for the remaining 20 years, the present value (PV) used = 24,589.392, as ending balance after the first 10 years
Total Future value earned = $151,018.50
