Use the following information for Exercises 10 through 12: Babcock Company manufactures fast-baking ovens in the United States at a production cost of $500 per unit and sells them to uncontrolled distributors in the United States and a wholly-owned sales subsidiary in Canada. Babcock's U.S. distributors sell the ovens to restaurants at a price of $1,000, and its Canadian subsidiary sells the ovens at a price of $1,100. Other distributors of ovens to restaurants in Canada normally earn a gross profit equal to 25 percent of selling price. Babcock's main competitor in the United States sells fast-baking ovens at an average 50 percent markup on cost. Babcock's Canadian sales subsidiary incurs operating costs, other than cost of goods sold, that average $250 per oven sold. The average operating profit margin earned by Canadian distributors of fast-baking ovens is 5 percent.

On June 15, the company committed to sell two ovens to a major transnational customer.One of the ovens has a selling price of $549,600 and is to be paid for with foreign currency A (FCA). The other unit has a selling price of $297,975 and is to be paid for with foreign currency B (FCB). Both units were shipped, FOB shipping point, on September 15, and payment is due within 30 days of shipment. In order to hedge against exchange rate risks,Wellington acquired two put options on June 15 with notional amounts equal to the respective foreign currency selling prices. The options expire on October 15, and customer remittances are also received on October 15. Relevant information concerning the options and exchange rates is as shown: Fair Value of Option June 15 September 15…
WISsub annually resells to industrial manufacturing companies approximately 30,000 industrial ovens purchased from FORCo, its foreign parent, that are neither branded nor warranted. FORCo also sells 5,000 industrial ovens to an independent third party in Canada for $100,000 each. Unlike the industrial ovens sold to WISsub, the industrial ovens sold in Canada are warranted and bear the valuable FORCo label. Suppose that the comparable profits methodology is the best method. Further assume that your search for comparable companies preliminarily includes those on the list below with all return on sales figures being a proper average of the last three taxable years. Which of the companies are functionally comparable to WISsub? (a)

Dick Smith Foods. is a U.S. company that is considering expanding its operations into Japan. The company supplies processed foods to storefront delicatessens in large cities. This requires Dick Smith Foods to have a centralized production and warehousing facility in each of these cities. Dick Smith Foods has located a possible site for a Japanese subsidiary in Tokyo. The cost to purchase and equip the facility is ¥885,000,000. Perform an NPV analysis to determine whether this is a good investment, under the following assumptions: a. The average per-unit sales price will initially be ¥510. b. First-year sales will be 17 million units, and physical sales will then grow at 10% per annum for the next 3 years. c. First-year variable costs of production will be ¥325 per unit of labor and $1.85 per unit of imported semi-finished goods. Administrative costs will be ¥200 million. d. Retail prices, labor costs, and administrative expenses are expected to rise at the Japanese…
Whitehill Chemicals has two operating divisions. Its Formulation Division in the United States mixes, processes, and tests basic chemicals, and then ships them to Ireland, where the company's Commercial Division uses the chemicals to produce and sell various products. Operating expenses amount to $27.2 million in the U.S. and $79.2 million in Ireland exclusive of the costs of any goods transferred from the U.S. Revenues in Ireland are $207 million. If the chemicals were purchased from one of the company's Irish mixing divisions, the costs would be $40.2 million. However, if it had been purchased from an independent U.S. supplier, the cost would be $53.2 million. The marginal income tax rate is 20 percent in the U.S. and 12 percent in Ireland. Required: What is the company's total tax liability to both jurisdictions for each of the two alternative transfer pricing scenarios ($40.2 million and $53.2 million)? Note: Enter your answers in dollars and not in millions of dollars. Total tax…
Mossfort, Inc., has a division in Canada that makes long-lasting exterior wood stain. Mossfort has another U.S. division, the Retail Division, that operates a chain of home improvement stores. The Retail Division would like to buy the unique, long-lasting wood stain from the Canadian division, since this type of stain is not currently available. The Exterior Stain Division incurs manufacturing costs of 13.45 for one gallon of stain. If the Retail Division purchases the stain from the Canadian division, the shipping costs will be 1.40 per gallon, but sales commissions of 0.75 per gallon will be avoided with an internal transfer. The Retail Division plans to sell the stain for 32.80 per gallon. Normally, the Retail Division earns a gross margin of 35 percent above cost of goods sold. Required: 1. Which Section 482 method should be used to calculate the allowable transfer price? 2. Calculate the appropriate transfer price per gallon. (Round to the nearest cent.)
Beacon, a division of Libra Corporation, is located in the United States. Its effective income tax rate is 30%. Another division of Libra, Falcon, is located in Canada, where the income tax rate is 40%. Falcon manufactures, among other things, an intermediate product for Beacon called XPS-2022. Falcon operates at capacity and makes 15,000 units of XPS-2022 for Beacon each period, at a variable cost of $28 per unit. Assume that there are no outside customers for XPS-2022. Because the XPS-2022 must be shipped from Canada to the United States, it costs Falcon an additional $4 per unit to ship the XPS-2022 to Beacon. There are no direct fixed costs for XPS-2022. Falcon also manufactures other products. A product similar to XPS-2022 that Beacon could use as a substitute is available in the United States for $38.50 per unit. Q. What is the minimum and maximum transfer price that would be acceptable to Beacon and Falcon for XPS-2022, and why?
Assume again that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 123,200 Daks each year. A customer in a foreign market wants to purchase 35,200 Daks. If Andretti accepts this order it would have to pay import duties on the Daks of $2.70 per unit and an additional $28,160 for permits and licenses. The only selling costs that would be associated with the order would be $1.60 per unit shipping cost. What is the break-even price per unit on this order? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Embraer of Brazil is one of the two leading global manufacturers of regional jets (Bombbardler of Canada is the other). Regional jets are smaller than the traditional civilian airliners produced by Airbus and Boeing, seating between 50 and 100 people on average. Embraer has concluded an agreement with a regional U S airline to produce and deliver four aircraft one year from now for $78 Million. Although Embraer will be paid in U.S. Dollars. It also possesses a currency exposure of inputs- it must pay foreign suppliers $15 million for inputsone year from now (but they will be delivering the subcomponents throughtout the year). The cuurent spot rate on the Brazilian real (R$) is R$1.87/$, but it has been steadily appreciating against the US dollar over the past three years. Forward contracts are difficult to acquire and are considered expensive. Citibank Brasil has not explicity provided Embraer a forward rate quote, but has stated that it will probably be pricing a forward off the…
