same company for use in its production process. The managers of the divisions are evaluated based on their divisional profits.
Case
A B
Division X:
Capacity in units 101,000 105,000
Number of units being sold to outside customers 101,000 81,000
Selling price per unit to outside customers $52 $31
Variable costs per unit $28 $11
Fixed costs per unit (based on capacity) $8 $4
Division Y:
Number of units needed for production 24,000 24,000
Purchase price per unit now being paid to an outside supplier $47 $22

Refer to the data in case B above. In this case, there will be no savings in variable selling costs on intracompany sales.

a. What is the lowest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the selling division?
b. What is the highest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the buying division?
c. What is the range of acceptable transfer prices (if any) between the two divisions? If the managers are free to negotiate and make decisions on their own, will a transfer probably take place?

Answer:

a.  $11

b.  $22

c.  Range is $11  to $22

Explanation:

Part a

The lowest acceptable (minimum) transfer price is the price that is acceptable to the transferring division and out of a range of prices, it could be that which would be the best for the company.

Minimum Transfer Price = Variable Costs per unit - Internal Savings + Opportunity Cost

where,

Variable Costs per unit = $11

Internal Savings = $0

Opportunity Cost = $0

therefore,

Minimum Transfer Price = $11

Part b

The highest acceptable(maximum) transfer price is the maximum price that causes the receiving or buying division to breakeven. It could also be the price at which they could purchase the product in the market at arms length position.

therefore,

Maximum Transfer Price = $22

Part c

The best  range of acceptable transfer prices must encourage goal congruence, must facilitate measurement of performance and divisions should function autonomously.

therefore,

The best range of acceptable transfer prices is within the Minimum and Maximum Transfer Price.

Luden [163]

Answer:

A. work hours growth and labor productivity growth

Explanation:

An economy is a function of how money, means of production and resources (raw materials) are carefully used to facilitate the demands and supply of goods and services to meet the unending needs or requirements of the consumers.

Hence, a region's or country's economy is largely dependent on how resources are being allocated and utilized, how many goods and services are to be produced, what should be produced, for whom they are to be produced for and how much money are to be spent by the consumers to acquire these goods and services.

Basically, there are four (4) main types of economy and these are;

I. Mixed economy.

II. Free market economy.

III. Traditional economy.

IV. Command economy.

Generally, the sources of economic growth of a country are​ work hours growth and labor productivity growth.

Labor (working) is simply the human capital or workers who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing and managing all the aspects of production.

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Discount yield is 8%

Bond equivalent yield is 8.19%

Explanation:

The discount yield on the commercial paper is calculated as:

(($500,000 - $495,000)/$500,000 ) x (360/45)

= ($5,000/$500,000 x (360/45)

= 0.01 x 8

= 0.08

= 8%

And bond equivalent yield is calculated as:

(($500,000 - $495,000)/$495,000) x (365/45)

= ($5,000/$495,000) x 8.11

= 0.0101 x 8.11

= 0.0819

= 8.19%

Use the following two links to answer the following questions: Nominal Wages (W) Price index CPI (P) a) (5 points) Calculate the
g100num [7]

Answer:

3.45%

Explanation:

the real wage at the beginning of the recession (12/07) = nominal wage / price index Dec. 2007 = $17.70 / 2.1141 = $8.3721

the real wage at the end of the recession (6/09) = nominal wage / price index June 2009 = $18.53 / 2.14527= $8.6609

% change in real wage = [($8.6609 - $8.3721) / $8.3721] x 100 = 3.44955% = 3.45%

Due to the recession, the price index changed less than the nominal wages since the inflation rate was very low. It is normal that during recessions, specially severe ones, the inflation rate decreases or even turns negative (what happened in Europe in those years).
