- The absolute value of segment’s profit or loss is 10 percent or more
- The segment’s assets are 10 percent or more of the total assets of all operating segments.

- Global Reach, Inc., is considering opening a new warehouse to serve the Southwest region. Darnell Moore, controller for Global Reach, has been reading about the advantages of foreign trade zones. He wonders if locating in one would be of benefit to his company, which imports about 90 percent of its merchandise (e.g., chess sets from the Philippines, jewelry from Thailand, pottery from Mexico, etc.). Darnell estimates that the new warehouse will store imported merchandise costing about 16.78 million per year. Inventory shrinkage at the warehouse (due to breakage and mishandling) is about 8 percent of the total. The average tariff rate on these imports is 5.5 percent. Required: 1. If Global Reach locates the warehouse in a foreign trade zone, how much will be saved in tariffs? Why? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.) 2. Suppose that, on average, the merchandise stays in a Global Reach warehouse for nine months before shipment to retailers. Carrying cost for Global Reach is 6 percent per year. If Global Reach locates the warehouse in a foreign trade zone, how much will be saved in carrying costs? What will the total tariff-related savings be? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.) 3. Suppose that the shifting economic situation leads to a new tariff rate of 13 percent, and a new carrying cost of 6.5 percent per year. To combat these increases, Global Reach has instituted a total quality program emphasizing reducing shrinkage. The new shrinkage rate is 7 percent. Given this new information, if Global Reach locates the warehouse in a foreign trade zone, how much will be saved in carrying costs? What will the total tariff-related savings be?

It sells the products that are designed each year, and all of the products sold each year are invoiced in U.S. dollars. Nashville anticipates revenue of about $20 million per year, and about half of the revenue will be from sales to customers in Australia. The Australian dollar is presently valued at $1 (1 U.S. dollar), but it fluctuates a lot over time. Nashville Co. is planning a new project that will expand its sales to other regions within the United States, and the sales will be invoiced in dollars. Nashville can finance this project with a 5-year loan by (1) borrowing only Australian dollars, or (2) borrowing only U.S. dollars, or (3) borrowing one-half of the funds from each of these sources. The 5-year interest rates on an Australian dollar loan and a U.S. dollar loan are the same.

- A U.S.-based multinational pharmaceutical firm with four plants in Europe uses traditional methods to distribute the annual business travel allocation on the basis of workforce size. Last year $500,000 in travel expenses were distributed, according to as shown, at a rate of 500,000 / 29,100 = $17.18 per employee. A switch to ABC allocates the $500,000 in travel expenses on the basis of the number of travel vouchers, categorized by travelers working on each product line. In ABC terminology, travel is the activity and a travel voucher is the cost driver. as shown details the distribution of 500 vouchers to each product line by plant. Not all products are produced at each plant. Use the ABC method to allocate travel expenses to each product line and each plant. Compare plant-by-plant allocations based on workforce size (traditional) and number of travel vouchers (ABC).arrow_forwardEmbraer of Brazil. Embraer of Brazil is one of the two leading global manufacturers of regional jets. (Bombardier 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 USD80 million. Although Embraer will be paid in U.S. dollars, it also possesses a currency exposure of inputs—it must pay foreign suppliers USD20 million for inputs one year from now (but they will be delivering the subcomponents throughout the year). The current spot rate on the Brazilian real (BRL) is BRL1.8240 = USD1.00, but it has been steadily appreciating against the U.S. dollar over the past three years.

- Davao has a potential foreign customer that has offered to buy 1,500 tons at P450 per ton. Assume that all of Davao’s costs would be at the same levels and rates as last year. What net income after taxes would Davao make if it took this order and rejected some business from regular customers so as not to exceed capacity? Without prejudice to your answers to previous questions, and assume that Davao plans to market its product in a new territory. Davao estimates that an advertising and promotion program costing P61,500 annually would need to be undertaken for the next two or three years. In addition, a P25 per ton sales commission over and above the current commission to the sales force in the new territory would be required. How many tons would have to be sold in the new territory to maintain Davao’s current after-tax income of P94,500?
