Tallu International Park (TIP) is a theme park and has for many years been a successful business, which has traded profitably. About three years ago the directors decided to capitalize on their success and reduced the expenditure made on new thrill rides, reduced routine maintenance where possible (deciding instead to repair equipment when it broke down) and made a commitment to regularly increase admission prices. Once an admission price is paid customers can use any of the facilities and rides for free.

These steps increased profits considerably, enabling good dividends to be paid to the owners and bonuses to the directors. The last two years of financial results are shown below.

2008(Tk.) 2009(Tk.) Sales 5,250,000 5,320,000 Less expenses: Wages 2,500,000 2,200,000 Maintenance – routine 80,000 70,000 Repairs 260,000 320,000 Directors salaries 150,000 160,000 Directors bonuses 15,000 18,000 Other costs (including depreciation) 1,200,000 1,180,000 Net profit 1,045,000 1,372,000 Book value of assets at start of year 13,000,000 12,000,000 Dividend paid 500,000 650,000 Number of visitors 150,000 140,000

Q. No.3.

Cosmopolitan Traders, has recently established a subsidiary in another country, Petronia. An essential component that is produced in Bangladesh by Cosmopolitan Traders will need to be provided to the subsidiary in Petronia. The finance team is discussing what transfer price should be set for sales between the parent company and subsidiary.

Three suggestions have been made:

(i) Use the estimated Bangladeshi market price of the component as the transfer price. This is Tk. 18 per unit.

(ii) Use fixed cost per year plus variable cost per unit.

(iii) Use a negotiated price of Bangladeshi total cost plus 25%

The following is a breakdown of the cost structure of an important component that must be sent between parent company and the overseas subsidiary. Annual sales are 50,000 units.

Parent company costs:

Variable costs Tk. 13 per unit

Fixed cost Tk. 120,000

Once received by the subsidiary the component undergoes further processing and is sold locally at P$250 per unit.

Costs in Petronia: P$

Local variable costs 82

Local fixed cost 351,000

The current exchange rate is P$7·8/Tk.

The corporate tax rate in Petronia is 25%, and in the Bangladesh 30%.

A 15% withholding tax is levied on all dividend payments in Petronia.

A bilateral tax treaty exists between Bangladesh and Petronia. This allows tax paid on income and distributions in one country to be credited against a tax liability on the same income in the other country.

Assume that all available profits in Petronia are to be remitted back to Bangladesh.

Required:

a) Calculate the expected after tax profits that would result from each of the three transfer pricing methods.

b) Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each of the methods.

Q. No.4.

Ice-Time Ltd (ITL) manufactures a range of sports equipment used in a variety of winter-sports in Snow land. Development engineers within ITL have recently developed a prototype of a small engine-propelled bobsleigh named the ‘Snowballer’, which has been designed for use by young children. The directors of ITL recently spent Tk.200,000 on market research, the findings of which led them to believe that a market exists for the Snowballer.

The marketing director has suggested that ITL should use the ‘Olympic’ brand in order to market the Snowballer.

The finance director of ITL has gathered relevant information and prepared the following evaluation relating to the proposed manufacture and sale of the Snowballer.

(i) Sales are expected to be 3,200 units per annum at a selling price of Tk.2,500 per unit.

(ii) Variable material, labour, and overhead costs are estimated at Tk.1,490 per unit.

(iii) In addition, a royalty of Tk.150 per unit would be payable to Olympic plc, for the use of their brand name.

(iv) Fixed overheads are estimated at Tk.900,000 per annum. These overheads cannot be avoided until the end of the year in which the Snowballer is withdrawn from the market.

(v) An initial investment of Tk.5 million would be required. A government grant equal to 50% of the initial investment would be received on the date the investment is made. However, because the Snowballer would be classified as a luxury good, no tax allowances would be available on this initial investment. The estimated life cycle of the Snowballer is six years.

(vi) Corporation tax at the rate of 30% per annum is payable in the year in which profit occurs.

(vii) All cash flows are stated in current prices and, with the exception of the initial investment and the government grant will occur at the end of each year.

(viii) The nominal cost of capital is 15·44%. Annual inflation during the period is expected to amount to 4%.

Required:

(a) Calculate the net present value (NPV) of the Snowballer proposal and recommend whether it should be undertaken by the directors of ITL.

(b) Using sensitivity analysis, estimate by what percentage of the annual contribution would need to change before the recommendation in (1) above is varied.

(c) Using sensitivity analysis, estimate by what percentage the life cycle of the Snowballer would need to change before the recommendation in (1) above is varied.

(d) Comment on THREE factors other than NPV that the directors of ITL should consider when deciding whether to manufacture the Snowballer.
