True Nutri Inc. sells performance enhancing foods and beverages for athletes and health-conscious people. In a recent product development meeting, Mike suggested that True Nutri Inc. should acquire a new technology developed by One Health Corp. for infusing vitamin and mineral blends into food. He believed it would be easier to acquire the technology directly from One Health Corp. Justin felt that the method of infusing blends into food should be developed within True Nutri Inc. itself. He knows it may take longer but feels that the competitive advantage it would provide was worth the wait. Lara suggested that True Nutri Inc. should use its resources and work jointly with One Health Corp. to develop an entirely new product.

Based on the scenario, which method of acquiring technology does Justin favor?

a. internal development
b. licensing
c. contracted development
d. franchising
e. research partnership

Answer: a. internal development

Explanation:

Internal development is a method of growth and development that is done by using the resources of the company instead of relying on takeovers or acquisitions.

Justin wants True Nutri Inc to develop the tech itself without acquiring it from One Health Corp so he has an Internal Development mindset. Benefits of Internal Development include the development of a competitive advantage and increased efficiency which Justin hopes can benefit the company.

Victory Company uses weighted-average process costing to account for its production costs. Conversion cost is added evenly throughout the process. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the first process. During November, the first process transferred 715,000 units of product to the second process. Additional information for the first process follows. At the end of November, work in process inventory consists of 201,000 units that are 90% complete with respect to conversion. Beginning work in process inventory had $416,780 of direct materials and $201,578 of conversion cost.

The City of Clear Lake signed a lease agreement with Mountainside Builders whereby Mountainside will construct a new office building for city administrative use and lease it to the City for 30 years. The fair market value of the building is $12 million. The City has agreed to make an initial payment of $822,441 and annual payments in the same amount for the next 29 years. (This assumes a 6 percent discount rate.) The lease includes a funding clause, which allows Clear Lake to terminate the lease agreement if the government does not appropriate funds for the lease payments. Clear Lake does not intend to exercise this option unless there is a financial emergency. Upon completion, the building had an appraised value of $13 million and an estimated useful life of 40 years.

Required:

Read the following scenario and answer the question in 5 sentences at least.
You are the president of the American Association of Construction Manufacturers (AACM), a trade association that represents seven hundred companies who build and sell heavy construction equipment. Members have proposed a number of initiatives to advance AACM interests. First, some members want an AACM advocacy group to lobby Congress for relaxing trade barriers on importing raw materials and parts. Second, some of the smaller AACM members want an advertising campaign promoting the importance of the AACM in order to increase small firm membership. Third, some members propose to segregate regions of the United States into sales territories, whereby only certain members have access to certain customers within a geographic area. Fourth, a group of socially conscious AACM firms want its members to boycott a large supplier that sources from nations with poor human rights records. Evaluate the business and legal (antitrust) implications of each of these proposals.

Praveen Co. manufactures and markets a number of rope products. Management is considering the future of Product XT, a special rope for hang gliding, that has not been as profitable as planned. Since Product XT is manufactured and marketed independently of the other products, its total costs can be precisely measured. Next year’s plans call for a $210 selling price per 100 yards of XT rope. Its fixed costs for the year are expected to be $193,200, up to a maximum capacity of 550,000 yards of rope. Forecasted variable costs are $168 per 100 yards of XT rope.
1. Estimate Product XT's break-even point in terms of sales units and sale dollars.
2. Prepare a CVP chart for Product XT. Use 7,000 units (700,000 yards/100 maximum number of sales units on the horizontal axis of the graph, and $1,400,000 as the maximum dollar amount on the vertical axis.3. Prepare a contribution margin income statement showing sales, variable costs, and fixed costs for Product XT at the break-even point.
