General guideline, transfer pricing. The Slate Company manufactures and sells television sets. Its assembly division (AD) buys television screens from the screen division (SD) and assembles the TV sets. The SD, which is operating at capacity,incurs an incremental manufacturing cost of $65 per screen. The SD can sell all its output to the outside market at a priceof $100 per screen, after incurring a variable marketing and distribution cost of $8 per screen. If the AD purchases screens from outside suppliers at a price of $100 per screen, it will incur a variable purchasing cost of $7 per screen. Slate’s division managers can act autonomously to maximize their own division’s operating income.1. What is the minimum transfer price at which the SD manager would be willing to sell screens to the AD?2. What is the maximum transfer price at which the AD manager would be willing to purchase screens from the SD?3. Now suppose that the SD can sell only 70% of its output capacity of 20,000…

- Sell or Process Further, Basic Analysis Shenista Inc. produces four products (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta) from a common input. The joint costs for a typical quarter follow: The revenues from each product are as follows: Alpha, 100,000; Beta, 93,000; Gamma, 30,000; and Delta, 40,000. Management is considering processing Delta beyond the split-off point, which would increase the sales value of Delta to 75,000. However, to process Delta further means that the company must rent some special equipment that costs 15,400 per quarter. Additional materials and labor also needed will cost 8,500 per quarter. Required: 1. What is the operating profit earned by the four products for one quarter? 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Should the division process Delta further or sell it at split-off? What is the effect of the decision on quarterly operating profit?arrow_forwardQuest Motors, Inc., operates as a decentralized multidivision company.
