As part of the sale agreement, Quincy is committed to the ongoing servicing of this product until 30 September 2014 (i.e. three years from the date of sale). The value of this service has been included in the selling price of $10 million.

The director of the Human Resources (HR) division of RJ Business Consulting Group has requested the services of

responded by stating that he is aware of the limitations of using negotiated transfer prices and intends to charge the

HR division ￡750 per consulting day.

reduce the variable costs by ￡50 per consulting day. Note: this equipment can only be used when providing internal

consultations.

听力原文： UNICEF is joining with a nonprofit group to bring AIDS prevention programs to more women and children in five countries. UNICEF, United Nations Children's Fund, will work with Family Health International. The new partnership will be established at first in Guyana, India, Malawi, Nigeria and Zambia. One of the goals is to improve care for babies infected with H. I. V. , the virus that causes AIDS. Another is to prevent the spread of H. I. V. from mother to child. Activities will depend on the needs of each country. In some cases, anti-AIDS drugs will be provided to infected parents of children. Women and children living in rural communities will receive most of the services (Q18). Both UNICEF and Family Health International will expand their partnership into more countries in the future. Family Health International has been working on public health issues since 1971 (Q19). The organization is based in North Carolina and has programs in seventy countries. It does research on infectious diseases and reproductive health, and also provides services. Experts say an important part of fighting AIDS is political will (Q20). One example they point to is Cambodia. That country has been getting attention for its progress in reducing some of the highest infection rates in Asia. Experts praise the government for supporting public education efforts and programs.

The services of the new partnership are provided mainly to ______.
