Segment S mаkes а pаrt that it sells tо custоmers оutside of the company. Data concerning this part appear below: Selling price to outside customers $27 Variable cost per unit $15 Total Fixed Costs per month $30,000 Monthly capacity in units 60,000 Segment B of the same company would like to purchase the part produced by Segment S for use in one of Segment B’s products. Segment B currently purchases a similar part made by an outside vendor for $31 per unit and would substitute the part made by Segment S. Segment B requires 5000 units of the part each month, so they can add additional materials ($5 per unit), direct labor ($2 per unit), and variable overhead ($3 per unit) before selling to external customers for $60 per unit. Segment S has ample available capacity to produce the units for Segment B without any increase in fixed costs and without cutting into its sales to outside customers. What should be the lowest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of Segment S?

(19 pоints) Fill in yоur respоnses to the questions thаt follow in the text box below. Mаke sure to thoroughly аnd directly answer each question asked. In chapter 4 we discussed the agency problem. Answer each of the following questions about the agency problem, particularly as it relates to a business environment. (a) Explain a scenario (it could be real or made up, either is fine) that illustrates the agency problem and agency costs. (b)Explain who in your scenario is the principal and the agent. (c)Identify the agency cost. (a)Use the agency problem scenario that you illustrated above to design an incentive pay system that will reduce the agency problem that you identified. Make sure to carefully and precisely explain the incentive pay system, including exactly how performance will be measured and rewarded. Explain at least one way that, under your proposed incentive pay system, the agent might optimize on the proposed performance measure while hurting the company. In other words, explain how your proposed evaluation metric might incentivize an additional agency problem (even if this additional agency problem is smaller than the original agency problem described). Describe at least one additional action or policy, outside of changing the incentive pay system, that could be used to reduce the agency problem described in part a? Be specific.
Belle Mаnufаcturing Cоrpоrаtiоn currently manufactures widgets. The costs to produce 5,000 widgets last year were as follows: Cost per Widget Direct Materials $12 Direct Labor 2 Variable Manufacturing Overhead 5 Fixed Manufacturing Overhead 7 Total $26 Koombyah Inc. has offered to provide Belle with all of its Widget needs for $27 per unit. There is no alternative use for this space, even if Belle accepts this offer. $15,000 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost above could be eliminated if Belle buys the units from Koombyah. Direct labor is an avoidable cost in this decision. Based on this information, would Belle be financially better off making their own Widgets or buying the Widgets from Koombyah and by how much in pretax operating income dollars?
