Explainarrow_forwardETHICAL DILEMMA "We must get it," Erickson Santos, president of Industrial Fasteners, roared. "Without it, we're in big trouble." The "it" Mr. Santos referred to is the renewal of a P20 million loan with Manila First Bank. The big trouble he fears is the lack of funds necessary to repay the existing debt and few, if any, prospects for raising the funds elsewhere. Mr. Santos had just hung up the phone after a conversation with a bank vice-president in which it was made clear that this year's statement of cash flows must look better than last year's. Mr. Santos knows that improvements are not on course to happen. In fact, cash flow projections were dismal. Later that day, Timothy Dela Cruz, assistant controller, was summoned to Mr. Santos's office. "Dela Cruz," Santos barked, "I've looked at our accounts receivable.

Foreign governments often have restrictions on the amount of cash flows that the subsidiary company can repatriate to the parent company. Companies use different techniques to work around the restrictions. One such method is transfer pricing, which involves the subsidiary company obtaining raw materials from: A local vendor at a very low cost so that there is more profit left to repatriate The parent company at a high cost so that there is less profit left to repatriate The parent company at a very cost so that ther is more profit left to repatriate Consider this case: Sacramone Products Co. is a U.S. firm evaluating a project in Australia.
