Explanation: The WEXS Channel 10 wanted to see how well the candidates would perform with a story that was given to them.
Answer:
Lahdekorpi OY, a Finnish corporation and Three-O Company, a subsidiary incorporated in the United States
Transfer Pricing:
a) The best transfer pricing method in this case is the cost plus method. This gives the transfer price as Cost + 50%.
b) The appropriate transfer price should be $3 ($2 x 1.5).
Explanation:
Transfer pricing arises when controlled entities set prices for exchange of goods and services. When Lahdekorpi OY, a Finnish corporation, sells wooden puzzles to Three-O Company, given their relationship, transfer pricing has arisen. It is the assignment of cost for goods and services exchanged between related parties, like a parent and a subsidiary.
There are many Transfer Pricing methods which entities and the taxing authorities can use to determine the best transfer price. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Multinational Entities and tax authorities can use any of these five main transfer pricing methods:
a) Comparable uncontrolled price (CUP) method. The CUP method is grouped by the OECD as a traditional transaction method (as opposed to a transactional profit method)
b) Resale price method
c) Cost plus method
d) Transactional net margin method (TNMM)
e) Transactional profit split method.
Answer:
b. would leave the market first if the price were any lower.
Explanation:
In the market, the producer always sells more than the economic cost ( raw materials and labor cost) that he bears during production. The marginal seller means that the seller earns zero economic profit ( producer surplus) i.e. an economic cost equals the selling price. So if the price falls then the marginal seller would leave the market first because he will be indifferent when earns the zero economic profit but when the price falls he would leave the market.
Answer:
The answer is III) make simultaneous trades in two markets without any net investment.
Explanation:
Arbitrage is simultaneously buying an asset ( may be currency, securities...) in a low-priced market and sell it in a high-priced market.
As a results, the investor earns profit from price differences in the two markets without risk and net investment. It is because the two trading happens at the same time once price differences in any two markets are recognized ( arbitrage opportunities recognized) and the proceed of selling the asset is immediately used for financing/returning to the buying of the asset.
Thus, (III) is the correct answer.
