Appler is considering the relevant cash flows involved in a short-term decision. An important client has asked for the minimum price for the processing of a compound.  The compound involves the following: 

Material A: Appler needs 500 kg of material for the compound but has 200 kg in stock present. The stock items were bought 3 months ago for $5/kg but have suffered 10% shrinkage since that date.  Material A is not regularly used in the business and would have to be disposed of at a cost to Appler of $400 in total. The current purchase price of material A is $6.25/kg. 

Material B: Appler needs 800 kg of material B and has this in stock as it is regularly needed.  The stock was bought 2 months ago for $4/kg although it can be bought now at $3.75/kg due to its seasonal nature. 

Processing energy costs would be $200 and the supervisor says he would allocate $150 of his weekly salary to the job in the company’s job costing system. 

Based upon the scenario information, what is the total cost of material A and B to be built in to the minimum price calculation? 

Chapter6Short-termdecisions

Material A: 

Stock – saved disposal costs =                                                  ($400) 

Bought 300 kg @ $6.25/kg =                                                        1,875 

Net cost                                                                                           $1,475 

Material B 

Regularly used so replacement cost needed 

800 kg @ $3.75/kg                                                                        $3,000

At the end of 20X1, an investment centre has net assets of $1m and annual operating profits of $190,000. However, the bookkeeper forgot to account for the following: 

A machine with a net book value of $40,000 was sold at the start of the year for $50,000, and replaced with a machine costing $250,000. Both the purchase and sale are cash transactions. No depreciation is charged in the year of purchase or disposal. The investment centre calculates return on investment (ROI) based on closing net assets. 

Assuming no other changes to profit or net assets, what is the return on investment (ROI) for the year?

TM plc makes components which it sells internally to its subsidiary RM Ltd, as well as to its own external market. 

The external market price is $24.00 per unit, which yields a contribution of 40% of sales. For external sales, variable costs include $1.50 per unit for distribution costs, which are not incurred on internal sales. 

TM plc has sufficient capacity to meet all of the internal and external sales. The objective is to maximise group profit.

 At what unit price should the component be transferred to RM Ltd?
