maximization and tax minimization. There are several methods of setting transfer prices among profit centers within the same organization. Each profit center tries to set transfer prices which maximize their own profit. The buying and selling profit centers’ profits are largely affected by transfer prices. For example, when a high transfer price is charged, the selling division’s profits increase, while the buying division’s costs increase. So, transfer pricing should be established on a reasonable and objective
quantity supplied by the producers. This will cause the producers price to go up, causing demand to decrease back to equilibrium. Marginal principle is the relationship between marginal benefit and marginal cost. If marginal benefit is greater than marginal cost, the producer is more likely to produce the product. This theory is also known as making a decision on the margin. A market economy is based upon market supply and market demand. Diminishing marginal utility states that at a certain point
equals marginal costs. 2. According to the table below, when profits are maximized, profits are equal to: $2. 3.

in management accounting. It is concerned with the price when one department (the selling department) provides goods or services to another department (the buying department). That is, one department generates revenue from the sales of goods or services and the other department incurs expenses from the purchases of goods or services.
