You are a purchasing manager for General Electric and need to decide whether you should buy stainless steel from a supplier in China or source it from a foundry in Pittsburgh. If you buy it from the Pittsburgh foundry, you’ll pay $3,000 per metric ton. If you buy from China, you’ll pay 14,000 yuan per metric ton. Both prices include transportation costs. The nominal exchange rate is US$1 for 7 yuan.
A.Calculate the real exchange rate—the price of domestic steel in dollars, relative to the price of imported steel converted into dollars—and use this to decide whether you should buy the domestic or imported steel.
B. A rise in the cost of Chinese labor leads to a rise in the price of Chinese steel to 28,000 yuan per metric ton. The nominal exchange rate is still US$1 for 7 yuan. What has happened to the real exchange rate? Does this make it more or less likely that General Electric purchases steel from the foundry in Pittsburgh?

Hrubec Products has just acquired a small company that manufactures paper cartons. This company will be treated as a division of Hrubec with full profit responsibility. The newly formed Carton Division is currently purchasing 31,000 tons of pulp per year from a supplier at a cost of $23 per ton, less a 10% purchase discount. Hrubec’s president is anxious for the Carton Division to begin purchasing its pulp from the Pulp Division if an acceptable transfer price can be worked out.
For (1) and (2) below, assume the Pulp Division can sell all of its pulp to outside customers for $23 per ton.
1. What is the lowest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the Pulp Division? What is the highest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the Carton Division? What is the range of acceptable transfer prices (if any) between the two divisions? Are the managers of the Carton and Pulp Divisions likely to voluntarily agree to a transfer price for 31,000 tons of pulp next year?
2. If the Pulp Division meets the price that the Carton Division is currently paying to its supplier and sells 31,000 tons of pulp to the Carton Division each year, what will be the effect on the profits of the Pulp Division, the Carton Division, and the company as a whole?
For (3)–(6) below, assume that the Pulp Division is currently selling only 59,000 tons of pulp each year to outside customers at the stated $23 price.
4-a. Suppose the Carton Division’s outside supplier drops its price (net of the purchase discount) to only $18 per ton. Should the Pulp Division meet this price?
4-b. If the Pulp Division does not meet the $18 price, what will be the effect on the profits of the company as a whole?
6. Refer to (4) above. Assume that due to inflexible management policies, the Carton Division is required to purchase 31,000 tons of pulp each year from the Pulp Division at $23 per ton. What will be the effect on the profits of the company as a whole?
