A company is organized on decentralized lines, with each manufacturing division operating as a separate profit center. Each division manager has full authority to decide on sale of the division s out siders and to other divisions. Division C has always purchase its requirements of a component from Division A. But when informed that Division A was increasing its selling price to ` 150, the manager of Division C decided to look at outside suppliers. Division C can buy the component from an outside supplier for ` 135. But Division A refuses to lower its price in view of its need to maintain its return on the investment. The top management has the following information: Cs annual purchase of the component 1,000 units

Pre-tax accounting profit is taken after deducting the economic depreciation of the companys fixed assets (also depreciation used for tax purpose).

Additionally, the following information are available:

(a) (b) (c) 10. (d)

Economic depreciation was Rs. 95 million in 2008-09 and Rs. 105 million in 2009-10. Interest expenses were Rs. 13 million in 2008-09 and Rs. 18 million in 2009-10. Other non-cash expenses were Rs. 32 million in 2008-09 and Rs. 36 million in 2009-

Required: Estimate the Economic Value Added for Deportivo Ltd. for the years 2008-09 and 2009-10.

Question 2 A large company is organized into several manufacturing divisions. The policy of the company is to allow the divisional Managers to choose their sources of supply and when buying from or selling to sister divisions, to negotiate the prices just as they will for outside purchases or sales. Division X buys all of its requirements of its raw materials R from Division Y. The full manufacturing cost of R for Division Y is Rs. 88 per kg at normal volume. Till recently Division Y was willing to supply R to Division X at a transfer price of Rs 80 per kg. The incremental cost of R for Division Y is Rs.76 per kg. Since Division Y is now operating at its full capacity, it is unable to meet the outside customers demand for R at its market price of Rs 100 per kg. Division Y, therefore, threatened to cut off supplies to Division X unless the latter agrees to pay the market price for R.

Division X is resisting the pressure because its budget based on the consumption of 1,00,000 kgs. per month at a price of Rs.80 per kg. is expected to yield a profit of Rs.25,00,000 per month and so a price increase to Rs.100 per kg. will bring the Division X close to break-even point.

Division X has even found an outside source for a substitute material at a price of Rs.95 per kg. Although the substitute material is slightly different from R, it would meet the needs of Division X. Alternatively Division X is prepared to pay Division Y even the manufacturing cost of Rs. 88 per Kg.

Required:

i) Using each of the transfer price of Rs 80,Rs 88 ,Rs 95 and Rs.100 show with supporting calculations ,the financial results as projected by the a) b) c) Manager of Division X Manager of Division Y Company

ii) Comment on the effect of each transfer price on the performance of the managers of Division X and Division Y iii) If you were to make a decision in the matter without regard to the views of the Divisional Managers where should Division X obtain its raw materials from and at what price?
Question 3 A company has 20 cars in operation. The budget for the transport department based on 4,80,000 km of run for a year is Rs. 51,00,000 out of which a sum of Rs. 15,00,000 is fixed. During the year 2011 the total kilometers run by all the 20 cars were 4,50,000 and the costs incurred were Rs. 47,50,000. The cost of hiring a car would have been Rs.12 per km.

Evaluate the performance of the transport department on the basis of (i) (ii) Marks) (b) A company has two departments which are organized into profit centres. Department A produces a component which is used in department B for assembly into finished product P. one of component is required for each unit of P. Department B has prepared the following forecast of sales quantities and selling prices: (13 Marks) Sales quantity per week Average selling price per unit of P (Rs.) Cost center Profit center. (9

10.50 7.96 6.60 5.56 4.80 4.02

The manufacturing cost of P in Department B is Rs.7,500 for first 1000 units and Rs.1,500 per every 1000 units in excess of 1000 units. Department A incurs a total cost of Rs.3,000 for the first 1000 components and the cost will increase by Rs. 1,800 for every 1000 additional components produced in excess of 1000 components. The company has set at transfer price of Rs 2.40 per component for supplies to Department B. Required: (i) Prepare a schedule of profitability per week at each of the six levels of output for Departments A and B separately. (ii) Find the companys overall profitability per week at the output level at which Department As profit is maximum , and Department Bs profit is maximum. (iii) If the company is not organized into profit centre basis, what level of output will yield maximum profit to the company as a whole?
