Explanation / Answer

Solution1) Number of times bond interest is earned = Income before tax + Interest expense/ interest expense

=350,000 + 10,000/10,000 = 3.6.

3) When the division is working at full capacity, the minimum transfer price is equal to the variable cost + lost contribution margin. $45+$105 =$150

4) When the division is working at below capacity, there would not be a loss of contribution margin. The maximum transfer price is market price $150.

2) B) Kim Corporation

Average total assets = $300,000

Target rate of return = 14% = 0.14*300,000 = $42,000

Residual income = Operating income –equity charge

Equity charge = Capital *Cost of equity = $42,000

Thus residual income= $46,400 - $42,000 = $4,400
