Siraj wholesaling is considering the purchase of a computerized system to track its delivery trucks and
vans. The new system would lower operating costs by coordinating delivery vehicles and drivers to
reduce total miles traveled per taka of revenue. The technology would cost Tk.6,00,000 and have an
expected life of 6 years with an expected salvage value of Tk.50,000 at the end of its life. Near the
end of the fourth year, it is anticipated that the communication equipment in the new system would
require maintenance by the manufacturer costing Tk.75,000. This amount is fully deductive for tax
purpose in the year incurred. Management requires that investments of this type be paid back in 5
years or less. Cost savings are anticipated to be Tk.1,45,000 in each of the first four years and
Tk.1,00,000 in each of the last two years. The companys discount rate is 10 percent; its tax rate is 35
percent and the equipment would be depreciated for tax purposes using the straight line method with
no consideration of salvage value over a period of 5 years.
Required:
(a) Prepare a timeline for displaying cash flows. Be certained to consider the effects of taxes;
(b) Calculate the after tax pay back period;
(c) Calculate the after tax net present value on the project; and

Q. No. 5.
Qusem industries are a decentralized organization with six divisions. The companys electrical
Division produces a variety of electrical items, including an X52 electrical fitting. The Electrical
Division (which is operating at capacity) sells this fitting to its regular customers for Tk7.50 each; the
fitting has a variable manufacturing cost of Tk 4.25.

Q. No. 5. (Contd..)
The companys Brake Division has asked the Electrical Division to supply it with a large
quantity of X52 fitting for only Tk 5 each. The Brake Division, which is operating at 50% of
capacity, will put the fitting into a brake unit that it will produce and sell to a large commercial
airline manufacturer. The cost of the Brake unit being built by the brake Division follows:
Purchased parts (from outside vendors)
Electrical fitting X52
Other variable costs
Fixed overhead and administration
Total cost per brake unit

Tk. 22.50
5.00
14.00
8.00
Tk. 49.50

Although Tk. 5 price for the X52 fitting represents a substantial discount from the regular Tk.
7.50 price , the manager of the Brake Division believes that the price concession is necessary if
his division is to get the contract for the airplane brake units. He has heard through the
grapevines that the airplane manufacturer plans to reject his bid if it is more than Tk. 50 per
brake unit. Thus if the Brake Division is forced to pay the regular Tk. 7.50 price for the X52
fitting , it will either not get the contract or it will suffer a substantial loss at a time when it is
already operating at only 50% of capacity. The manager of the Brake Division argues that the
price concession is imperative to the well-being of both his division and the company as a
whole.
Qusem Industries use return on investment (ROI) and Taka profit in measuring divisional
performance.
Required
(a) Assume that you are the manager of the Electrical Division. Would you recommend that
your division supply the X52 fitting to the Brake Division for Tk. 5 each as requested?
Why or why not? Show all computations.
(b) Would it be to the economic advantage of the company as a whole for the Electrical
Division to supply the fittings to the Brake division if the airplane brakes can be sold for
Tk 50? Show all computations, and explain your answer.
(c) In principle, should it be possible for the two managers to agree to a transfer price in this
particular situation? If so, within what range would that transfer price lie?
(d) Discuss the organizational and managerial behavior problems if any, inherent in this
situation. What would you advise the company's President to do in the situation?
