Answer:

a. The effect is that Avery Company’s operating profit will increase by $182,000 if the transfer is made internally.

b. Minimum transfer price = $9

c. Maximum transfer price from Bishop’s perspective = $16.

Explanation:

a. What will be the effect on Avery Company’s operating profit if the transfer is made internally?

To determine this, fixed cost is ignored because it considered irrelevant. Therefore, we have:

Profit per unit = Purchase price from outside - Variable cost of production internally = $16 - $9 = $7

Total increment in operating profit = Current purchase unit of Bishop * Profit per unit = 26,000 * $7 = $182,000

Therefore, Avery Company’s operating profit will increase by $182,000 if the transfer is made internally.

b. What is the minimum transfer price from Polk’s perspective?

Since Polk is currently operating at less than its full capacity, this implies that it will not incur additional fixed cost to produce current purchase units of Bishop. Therefore, only its variable cost of $9 will have to recovered. By implication, we have:

Minimum transfer price = Variable cost = $9

c. What is the maximum transfer price from Bishop’s perspective?

Any price that is higher than $16 at which Bishop is currently purchasing from an outside supplier will result in a loss for Bishop and the increment profit of $182,000 will be lost by Avery Company. This therefore implies that:

Maximum transfer price from Bishop’s perspective = Price at which Bishop is currently purchasing from an outside supplier = $16

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

total dividends distributed to common stockholders = $42,294.12

dividend per common stock = $42,294.12 / 12,000 = $3.52

Explanation:

allocated preferred dividends = 5,000 x $20 x 7% = $7,000

dividends directly allocated to common stockholders = $7,000 (same as above)

total dividends declared - allocated dividends = $64,000 - $14,000 = $50,000

total common + preferred stocks = 5,000 + 12,000 = 17,000

dividends per stock = $50,000 / 17,000 = $2.9412

dividends distributed to common stockholders = $42,294.12

dividends distributed to preferred stockholders = $21,705.88

dividend per common stock = $42,294.12 / 12,000 = $3.52

Its very important to calculate the Retained Earnings Balance at the end of July 2020.

To do this, we need to first calculate the Net Income for the period as follows :

<u>Income Statement for the year ended July 31, 2022</u>

Service Revenue                                                        15,500

Less Expenses :

Maintenance and Repairs Expense           1,200

Utilities Expense                                           950

Insurance Expense                                       600

Salaries and Wages Expense                    8,400     (11,150)

Net Income/(loss)                                                         4,350

Then, calculate the Retained Earnings Balance as follows :

<u>Retained Earnings Calculation </u>

Beginning Balance                                    5,200

Add Net Income during the period          4,350

Less Dividends                                            (800)

Ending Balance                                         8,750

South Tel Communications is considering the purchase of a new software management system. The system is called B-lmage, and it i
gavmur [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

South Tel Communications is considering the purchase of a new software management system. The system is called B-image, and it is expected to drastically reduce the amount of time that company technicians spend installing new software. South Tel's technicians currently spend 6,000 hours per year on installation which cost South Tel $25 per hour. The owners of the B-image system claim that their software can reduce time on task by at least 25%. The system requires an initial investment of $55,000 and an additional investment of$10,000 for technician training on the new system. Annual upgrades will cost the firm $15,000 per year. Because the investment is comprised of software, it can be fully expensed in the year of the expenditure (no depreciation). South Tel faces a 30% tax rate and uses a 9% cost of capital to evaluate projects of this type.

A. Assuming that South Tel has sufficient taxable income from other projects so that it can immediately expense the cost of the software, what are the free cash flows for the project for years zero through five?

Total (65,000)

Cash flow year 1 - 5

Saving on installations per year 450,000

Less: Annual upgrades ( 15,000)

Total 435,000

Less: Tax (30%) (130,500);
