Carmen Seville and Don Turco jointly own Bright Green Temp Services (BGTS). Carmen owns 60 percent and Don owns 40 percent. The company provides temporary clerical services at a rate of $40 per hour. During the past year, its clients used 14,000 hours of temporary services.
Big City Developers purchased 2,800 hours of temporary services from BGTS last year. Carmen has a 20 percent interest in Big City Developers, and Don has a 60 percent interest in it. At the end of the year, Don suggested that BGTS give Big City Developers a 10 percent reduction in the hourly rate charged next year in recognition of its large purchases and desirability as a client.
Required
Assuming that Big City Developers purchases the same number of hours and that all other costs and activities remain the same in the coming year, what effect would the price reduction have on BGTS’s operating profits that accrue to Carmen and to Don for the coming year?

Meyers provides maintenance service on large truck cabs for 10-wheeler trucks, and Wellington produces air brakes for the 10-wheeler trucks. The employees at Meyers take pride in their work, as Meyers is proclaimed to offer the best maintenance service in the trucking industry. The management of Meyers, as a group, has received additional compensation from a 10 percent bonus pool based on income before income taxes and bonus. Renslen plans to continue to compensate the Meyers management team on this basis as it is the same incentive plan used for all other Renslen divisions, except for the Wellington division. Wellington offers a high-quality product to the trucking industry and is the premium choice even when compared to foreign competition. The management team at Wellington strives for zero defects and minimal scrap costs; current scrap levels are at 2 percent. The incentive compensation plan for Wellington management has been a 1 percent bonus based on gross margin. Renslen plans to continue to compensate the Wellington management team on this basis.

- ABC Residential Investors, LLP, is considering the purchase of a 120-unit apartment complex in Steel City, Pennsylvania. A market study of the area reveals that an average rental of $640 per month per unit could be realized in the appropriate market area.
