Question
Calculate the after-tax operating income per unit earned by each division under the following transferpricing methods: (a) market price, (b) 200% of full cost, and (c) 350% of variable cost. (Income taxes are not included in the computation of the cost-based transfer prices.)

Transcribed Image Text:Multinational transfer pricing, effect of alternative transfer-pricing methods, global income tax
minimization. Tech Friendly Computer, Inc., with headquarters in San Francisco, manufactures and sells a
desktop computer. Tech Friendly has three divisions, each of which is located in a different country:
a. China division-manufactures memory devices and keyboards
b. South Korea division assembles desktop computers using locally manufactured parts, along with
memory devices and keyboards from the China division
c. U.S. division-packages and distributes desktop computers
Each division is run as a profit center. The costs for the work done in each division for a single desktop
computer are as follows:
China division:
Variable cost = 900 yuan
Fixed cost = 1,980 yuan
South Korea division:
Variable cost = 350,000 won
Fixed cost = 470,000 won
U.S. division:
Variable cost = $125
Fixed cost = $325
Chinese income tax rate on the China division's operating income: 40%
South Korean income tax rate on the South Korea division's operating income: 20%
U.S. income tax rate on the U.S. division's operating income: 30%
Each desktop computer is sold to retail outlets in the United States for $3,800. Assume that the current
foreign exchange rates are as follows:
9 yuan = $1 U.S.
1,000 won = $1 U.S.
Both the China and the South Korea divisions sell part of their production under a private label. The China
division sells the comparable memory/keyboard package used in each Tech Friendly desktop computer to
a Chinese manufacturer for 4,500 yuan. The South Korea division sells the comparable desktop computer to
a South Korean distributor for 1,340,000 won.
