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…
Glide Behind Corporation manufactures and sells small cargo trailers. The Wheel Division creates parts that are both sold externally and transferred internally to the Assembly Division. Variable production costs of wheel set #102 are $80, and each set sells externally for $150. What would you recommend as the internal transfer price from the Wheel Division to the Assembly Division if a competitive external market exists for wheel set #102? Would your answer change if there were no external market this component? Why? What would the transfer price be if upper management required cost plus 25 percent as the transfer price?

If Teslum has a transfer pricing policy that requires transfer at full cost, what will the transfer price be? Do you suppose that Machina and Java divisions will choose to transfer at that price? 2. If Teslum has a transfer pricing policy that requires transfer at market price, what would the transfer price be? Do you suppose that Machina and Java divisions would choose to transfer at that price? 3.

Each of the three types requires the use of a special machine that has a total operating capacity of 15,000 hours per year. Information on the three types of storage units is as follows: Sealings marketing director has assessed demand for the three types of storage units and believes that the firm can sell as many units as it can produce. Required: 1. How many of each type of unit should be produced and sold to maximize the companys contribution margin? What is the total contribution margin for your selection? 2. Now suppose that Sealing Company believes that it can sell no more than 12,000 of the deluxe model but up to 50,000 each of the basic and standard models at the selling prices estimated.

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.

- Activity-Based Supplier Costing Levy Inc. manufactures tractors for agricultural usage. Levy purchases the engines needed for its tractors from two sources: Johnson Engines and Watson Company. The Johnson engine has a price of 1,000. The Watson engine is 900 per unit. Levy produces and sells 22,000 tractors. Of the 22,000 engines needed for the tractors, 4,000 are purchased from Johnson Engines, and 18,000 are purchased from Watson Company. The production manager, Jamie Murray, prefers the Johnson engine. However, Jan Booth, purchasing manager, maintains that the price difference is too great to buy more than the 4,000 units currently purchased. Booth also wants to maintain a significant connection with the Johnson source just in case the less expensive source cannot supply the needed quantities. Jamie, however, is convinced that the quality of the Johnson engine is worth the price difference. Frank Wallace, the controller, has decided to use activity costing to resolve the issue. The following activity cost and supplier data have been collected: Required: 1. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Calculate the activity-based supplier cost per engine (acquisition cost plus supplier-related activity costs). (Round to the nearest cent.) Which of the two suppliers is the low-cost supplier? Explain why this is a better measure of engine cost than the usual purchase costs assigned to the engines. 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Consider the supplier cost information obtained in Requirement 1. Suppose further that Johnson can only supply a total of 20,000 units. What actions would you advise Levy to undertake with its suppliers?arrow_forwardMaterials used by the Instrument Division of Ziegler Inc. are currently purchased from outside suppliers at a cost of 1,350 per unit.
