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

lianna [129]

Answer:

BMI = 31.18 kg/m²

According to BMI, this patient is diagnosed as Obese.

Explanation:

BMI known as body mass index is taken from a person height and weight. BMI is a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. BMI is usually expressed in kg/m².

Mathematically ,

BMI = weight(kg)/height(m²)

we have to convert the weight and the height to the required units.

converting pounds to kg

2.2 pounds = 1 kilogram

210 pounds = ?

cross multiply

210/2.2 = 95.50 kilograms

converting foot to inches and to meter.

1 foot = 12 inches

5 foot = ?

12 × 5 = 60 inches

60 inches + 9 inches = 69 inches

1 inches = 0.0254 meters

69 inches = ?

69 × 0.0254 = 1.7526  meters

using the formula

BMI = weight(kg)/height(m²)

BMI = 95.50/(1.75)²

BMI = 95.50/3.0625   kg/m²

BMI = 31.1836734694  kg/m²

BMI = 31.18 kg/m²
