When I was young, every Indian had at least three names during his lifetime. His first name was given to him at birth. It described something that had happened at that time.
Each Indian was supposed to keep his birth name until he was old enough to earn money for himself. But his friends would always give him a name of their own. No matter what his parents called him, his childhood friends would use the name they had chosen.
The Indian earned his real name when he was old enough for his first fight against the enemy. His life name depended on how he acted during this first battle. When he returned he would be given his tribal name by the chief. If he had done well, he would be given a good name. But if he had done poorly, he might be given a bad name.
A man was given many chances to improve his name, however. If in a later battle he was very brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a better name. Some Indians had as many as twelve names - all good and each better than the last.
All names given to one Indian belonged to him for the rest of his life. No one else could use them. Even he himself could not give them away. This was because no man could pass on his name unless the chief and the tribe asked him to do so.
According to passage, Indian names were important because they ______.
A.described the character of a man
B.described the appearance of a man
C.were never used by other people
D.told us his profession
4 The Better Agriculture Group (BAG), which has a divisional structure, produces a range of products for the farming
industry. Divisions B and C are two of its divisions. Division B sells a fertiliser product (BF) to customers external to
BAG. Division C produces a chemical (CC) which it could transfer to Division B for use in the manufacture of its
product BF. However, Division C could also sell some of its output of chemical CC to external customers of BAG.
An independent external supplier to The Better Agriculture Group has offered to supply Division B with a chemical
which is equivalent to component CC. The independent supplier has a maximum spare capacity of 60,000 kilograms
of the chemical which it is willing to make available (in total or in part) to Division B at a special price of $55 per
kilogram.
Forecast information for the forthcoming period is as follows:
Division B:
Production and sales of 360,000 litres of BF at a selling price of $120 per litre.
Variable conversion costs of BF will amount to $15 per litre.
Fixed costs are estimated at $18,000,000.
Chemical (CC) is used at the rate of 1 kilogram of CC per 4 litres of product BF.
Division C:
Total production capacity of 100,000 kilograms of chemical CC.
Variable costs will be $50 per kilogram of CC.
Fixed costs are estimated at $2,000,000.
Market research suggests that external customers of BAG are willing to take up sales of 40,000 kilograms of CC at a
price of $105 per kilogram. The remaining 60,000 kilograms of CC could be transferred to Division B for use in
product BF. Currently no other market external to BAG is available for the 60,000 kilograms of CC.
Required:
(a) (i) State the price/prices per kilogram at which Division C should offer to transfer chemical CC to Division
B in order that the maximisation of BAG profit would occur if Division B management implement rational
sourcing decisions based on purely financial grounds.
Note: you should explain the basis on which Division B would make its decision using the information
available, incorporating details of all relevant calculations. (6 marks)
