1(a). After-tax profit per bike for Province P = $150.40

1(b). After-tax profit per bike for Province W = $142.80

2. Company EJ should build its new plant in Province P. The reason is that the $150.40 after-tax profit per bike for Province P is greater than the $142.80 after-tax profit per bike for Province W.

Explanation:

In the question, are given the following:

World price per bike = $400

Manufacturing cost per bike in Province P = $212

Manufacturing cost per bike in Province W = $230

Income tax rate in in Province P = 20%

Income tax rate in in Province W = 16%

Therefore, we have

1(a) Calculate the after-tax profit per bike for Province P.

Profit before tax per bike in Province P = World price per bike - Manufacturing cost per bike in Province P = $400 - $212 = $188

Tax expense per bike in Province P = Profit before tax per bike in Province P * Income tax rate in in Province P = $188 * 20% = $38.60

After-tax profit per bike for Province P = Profit before tax per bike in Province P - Tax expense per bike in Province P = $188.00 - $38.60 = $150.40

1(b) Calculate the after-tax profit per bike for Province W.

Profit before tax per bike in Province W = World price per bike - Manufacturing cost per bike in Province W = $400 - $230 = $170

Tax expense per bike in Province W = Profit before tax per bike in Province W * Income tax rate in in Province W = $170 * 16% = $27.20

After-tax profit per bike for Province W = Profit before tax per bike in Province W - Tax expense per bike in Province W = $170.00 - $27.20 = $142.80

2. In which province should Company EJ build its new plant?

Company EJ should build its new plant in Province P. The reason is that the $150.40 after-tax profit per bike for Province P is greater than the $142.80 after-tax profit per bike for Province W.

u = 30

continuing your method

$\frac{1}{10}$ = $\frac{1}{u}$ + $\frac{1}{15}$

subtract $\frac{1}{15}$ from both sides

$\frac{1}{u}$ = $\frac{1}{10}$ - $\frac{1}{15}$ thus

$\frac{1}{u}$ = $\frac{3}{30}$ - $\frac{2}{30}$

$\frac{1}{u}$ = $\frac{1}{30}$ ⇒ u = 30
