Answer:

Minimum transfer price = $86

Explanation:

Pump Division  is operating at full capacity, hence it has no excess capacity

This implies that it can not produce enough to meet both the internal demand (from the Pool Division ) and external buyers.

Hence, it implies that Pump Division cannot accommodate the demands of the Pump Division  at a price lower than the  external price of $86. Any price lower than $86  would result into a loss in contribution.

To maximize and optimize the group profit, the minimum transfer price should be set as follows:

Minimum transfer price = External selling price at which Pump Division sells to outside customers

Minimum transfer price = $86

Kruka [31]

Question:

For an economy starting at potential output, a decrease in autonomous expenditure in the short-run results in a(n):

A. increase in potential output

B. recessionary output gap

C. decrease in potential output

D.  expansionary output gap

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

A decrease in autonomous expenditure shifts the Planned Aggregate Expenditure curve downward thus creating a lower equilibrium output.

PAE = C + Ip + G + NX

where

PAE  = Planned Aggregate Expenditure

C = consumption

Ip = Investment Spending

G = Government Spending

NX =  Net Export

If an economy has its output equal to its potential, this will create a reduction in short-run equilibrium output leading to a recessionary output gap.

Cheers!

: Based on the corporate valuation model, Wang Inc.'s total corporate value is $750 million. Its balance sheet shows $100 millio
Leni [432]

Answer:

450 million is the firm’s value of equity

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the best estimate for the firm’s value of equity in millions.

To calculate this, we proceed as follows;

Mathematically;

Firm’s value of equity= [(Total corporate Value - (Notes payable + Long term debt)]

From the question, we identify the total corporate value as 750 million, the notes payable as 100 million and a long term debt of 200 million

Now, plugging these into the equation above, we have ;

Firm’s value of equity = 750 million - (100 million + 200 million) = 750 million - 300 million = 450 million
