Explanation / Answer

1.D.$32. per unit.

SInce the division is operating at 100% capacity, the normal price charged to an outsider will be charged as transfer price per unit.

2.C.$26,250.

total tax sheild created by depreciation = depreciable amount * tax rate

here,

$75,000 is depreciable amount since there is no salvage value.

35% is the tax rate.

=>$75,000 * 35%

=>$26,250.

3.B.$14,750.

annual depreciation = (cost - salvage value) / life

=> (30,000 - 0) / 6 years

=>$5,000.

after tax cash flow = [EBITDA - depreciation] * (1 - tax rate) + depreciation

=>[$20,000 - $5,000] * (1- 0.35) + $5,000

=>$9,750 + $5,000

=>$14,750
