Q. No. 4.
(a) How may the revenue from the sale of by-products be shown on the income statements?
(b) Are by-products ever charged with any cost? Explain.
(c) Padma Chemical Company manufactures several products in its three departments:
(i)
In Department 1, the raw materials amanic acid and bonyl hydroxide are used to produce
Amanyl, Bonanyl, and Am-Salt. Amanyl is sold to others, who use it as a raw material in
the manufacture of stimulants. Bonanyl is not salable without further processing.
Although Am-Salt is a commercial product for which there is a ready market, the
company does not sell this product, preferring to submit it to further processing.
(ii) In Department 2, Bonanyl is processed into the marketable product, Bonanyl-X. The
relationship between Bonanyl used and Bonanyl-X produced has remained constant for
several months.
(iii) In Department 3, Am-salt and the raw material colb are used to produce Colbanyl, a liquid
propellant. As an inevitable part of this process, Demanyl is also produced. Demanyl was
discarded as scrap until discovery of its usefulness as a catalyst in the manufacture of glue.
For two years, Madison has been able to sell all of its Demanyl Production.
In its financial statements, the company states inventory at the lower of cost (on the first-in, first-out
basis) or market. Until costs of the items most recently produced must therefore be computed. The
cost allocated to Demanyl is computed so that after allowing Tk.0.04 per pound for packaging and
selling costs, no profit or loss will be recognized on sales of this product.

Q. No. 2.
Excel Ltd. manufactures several different products. One of the principal products sells for Tk. 20 per
unit. The Sales Manager of Excel Ltd. has stated repeatedly that he could sell more units of this
product if those were available. To substantiate his claim, he conducted a market research study at a
cost of Tk. 35,000. The study indicated that Excel Ltd. could sell 18,000 units of this product annually
for the next five years.
The equipment currently in use has the capacity to produce 11,000 units annually. The variable
production costs are Tk. 9 per unit. The equipment has a value of Tk. 60,000 for tax purposes and a
remaining useful life of five years. The salvage value of the equipment is negligible now and will be
zero in five years.
A maximum of 20,000 units could be produced annually on the new machinery which can be
purchased. The new equipment costs Tk. 2,50,000 and has an estimated useful life of five years with
no salvage value. The Production Manager estimates that the new equipment would provide increased
production efficiencies that would reduce the variable production costs to Tk. 7 per unit.
Excel Ltd. uses straight line depreciation on all of its equipment. The firm is subject to a 35 per cent
tax and its after-tax cost of capital is 15 per cent.
The Sales Manager felt so strongly about the need for additional capacity that he attempted to prepare
an economic justification for the equipment although this was not one of his responsibilities. His
analysis, presented below, disappointed him because it did not justify acquiring the equipment.
Purchase price of new equipment
Disposal of existing equipment:
Loss on disposal
Less tax benefit (o.35)
Cost of market research study
Total investment
Contribution margin from product:
Using the new equipment [18,000 x (Tk. 20-7)]
Using the existing equipment [11,000 x (20-9)]
Increase in contribution
Less: Depreciation
Increase in before tax income
Less: Income tax (0.35)
Increase in income
Less Cost of capital on the additional investment required (Tk.

Q. No. 3.
AngoJad Corporation, headquartered in Caymon Islands, manufactures state of the art milling
machines in the Big Caymon. It has two marketing subsidiaries, one in Brazil and one in Switzerland
that sell its products. AngoJad is building one new machine, at a cost of Tk.500,000. There is no
market for the equipment in the Caymon Islands. The equipment can be sold in Brazil for
Tk.1,000,000 but the Brazilian subsidiary would incur transportation and modification cost of
Tk.200,000. Alternatively, the equipment can be sold in Switzerland for Tk.950,000, but the Swiss
subsidiary would incur transportation and modification cost of Tk.250,000. The Caymon Company
can sell the equipment to either its Brazilian subsidiary or its Swiss subsidiary but not to both. The
AngoJad Corporation and its subsidiary companies operate in a very decentralized manner. Managers
in each company have considerable autonomy, with managers interested in maximizing their own
companys income. The effective corporate tax rates in the three countries are as follows:
Country
Caymon Islands
Brazil
Switzerland

Tax rates
40%
60%
15%

Required:
(a) From the view point of AngoJad and its subsidiary taken together, should AngoJad Corporation
manufacture the equipment? If it does, where should it sell the equipment to maximize total
operating income? What would the operating income for AngoJad and its subsidiaries be from
the sale? Ignore any income tax effects.
(b) What range of transfer prices will result in achieving the actions determined to be optimal in
requirement (a)? Explain your answer.
(c) The tax authorities in the three countries are uncertain about the cost of intermediate product
and will allow any transfer price between Tk.500,000 and Tk.700,000. If AngoJad and its
subsidiaries want to maximize after tax operating income(i)
Should the equipment be manufactured? And
(ii) Where and at what price should it be transferred and sold? Show computations.

Q. No. 4. (Contd..)
Unless otherwise stated, the following parts of the question are independent from each other.
Required:
(i)

Calculate how many units the Water division must sell each year to achieve a return on
investment (ROI) of 16%.
(ii) If the Water division has a residual income of Tk42,500 and the cost of capital is 15%, calculate
the corresponding return on investment (ROI). Briefly explain why the ROI is different from the
cost of capital.
(iii) Assume the Water division has a budgeted volume of 75,000 units for next year, of
which15,000 units are expected to be purchased by the Earth division. However, the Earth
division has received an offer from an external firm to supply these 15,000 units at Tk28 each.
If the Water division fails to meet the Tk28 price, the Earth division will buy from the external
firm. If the Water divisions volume drops to 60,000 units, the Water division would save
Tk35,000 in fixed costs. Assuming that the Water division meets the Tk28 price, determine the
Water divisions annual profit.
(iv) Assuming that the Water division does not accept the Tk28 price, determine the effect on the
total profit of Green planet Products. Explain how you would deal with the manager of the
Water division if his refusal leads to a decrease in profit for the company as a whole.
