Process Co has two divisions, A and B. Division A produces three types of chemicals: products L, M and S, using a common process. Each of the products can either be sold by Division A to the external market at split-off point (after the common process is complete) or can be transferred to Division B for individual further processing into products LX, MX and SX.

In November 20X1, which is a typical month, Division A’s output was as follows:

Product             Kg

     L               1,200

     M              1,400

     S               1,800

The market selling prices per kg for the products, both at split-off point and after further processing, are as follows:

                         $                            $

     L               5.60        LX            6.70

     M              6.50        MX           7.90

     S               6.10        SX           6.80

The specific costs for each of the individual further processes are:

Variable cost of $0.50 per kg of LX

Variable cost of $0.70 per kg of MX

Variable cost of $0.80 per kg of SX

Further processing leads to a normal loss of 5% at the beginning of the process for each of the products being processed.

Required

1. Calculate and conclude whether any of the products should be further processed in Division B in order to optimise the profit for the company as a whole.

It has been suggested that Division A should transfer products L and M to Division B for further processing, in order to optimise the profit of the company as a whole. Divisions A and B are both investment centres and all transfers from Division A to Division B would be made using the actual marginal cost. As a result, if Division A were to make the transfers as suggested, their divisional profits would be much lower than if it were to sell both products externally at split-off point. Division B’s profits, however, would be much higher.

Required

       (b) Discuss the issues arising from this suggested approach to transfer pricing.

3. A student comes up with a new ratio to measure performance: she calls it profit

Consider the following two investment alternatives, in which Alternative II is more economically attractive than Alternative I:

                                                        Alternative I                Alternative II

            Initial Investment                    $10,000                       $40,000

            Useful life                               5 years                         10 years

            Terminal market value            $1,000                         $5,000

            Annual expenses                     $20,000                             $7,000

            EUAC (12%), approx.            $22,617                         $13,800

Determine the percent change in the annual expenses for Alternative I that would make the two investments equally attractive. (Enter your answer as a positive or negative number without the percent % sign.)

The Strings Object in particular is full of useful classes and methods. You can parse and manipulate strings using several methods of the String class. These methods enable you to count characters, find and extract characters and substrings, replace characters and substrings, combine characters and substrings, and compare strings.

Questions to answer:

1. Identify three such methods and discuss how they are used. Then use them in simple relevant examples

2. As you research the String class, what are some of the most popular uses of substring searching in use today?
3. Are there any uses of strings not covered by the String class or mentioned in the prompt?
4. Are there other classes that inherit from the String class?
5. How does the String class extend or support the Array class?

On March 31, 2018, the Herzog Company purchased a factory complete with machinery and equipment. The allocation of the total purchase price of $960,000 to the various types of assets along with estimated useful lives and residual values are as follows:

On June 29, 2019, machinery included in the March 31, 2018, purchase that cost $96,000 was sold for $76,000. Herzog uses the straight-line depreciation method for buildings and machinery and the sum-of-the-years'-digits method for equipment. Partial-year depreciation is calculated based on the number of months an asset is in service.

Required:

1. Compute depreciation expense on the building, machinery, and equipment for 2018.
2. Prepare the journal entries to record the depreciation on the machinery sold on June 29, 2019, and the sale of machinery.
3. Compute depreciation expense on the building, remaining machinery, and equipment for 2019.

Please describe how an union may behave by strategically exploiting Marshall’s 4 rules.

Marshall's Rules:

Marshall rules for the elasticity of labor demand Alfred Marshall (1842-1924) described the “rules of derived demand”: Labor demand is more elastic the greater...

1 ... the elasticity of substitution; - the more capital and labor are substitutes, the more easily the firm can replace capital for labor when w increases;

2 ... the price elasticity of output; - w ?? p ?, so the more output responds to p the more the firm wants to reduce labor when w increases;

3 ... the labor share in total cost of production; - w ? increases total costs more when production is labor intensive; when w ? firms reduce labor more in sectors where labor share of costs large. (note: true if elast. product demand > elast. substitution)

4 ... the supply elasticity of the other inputs; - if the supply of factors that can replace labor is large, the firm will substitute away from labor more easily when w increases;
