Spartac Corp has two divisions: Yekaterinburg Division and Sochi Division. The Yekaterinburg Division is currently selling MK-19 products to giant cookie dough millers for USD 3,100 per unit. The variable costs for producing the MK-I9 product are USD 2,000; while demand for this product currently exceeds the production capacity of the Yekaterinburg Division.
Apart from this situation, Spartac Corp is considering other uses of MK products. 19, namely as a component of the MBC-67 Blender / Chopper Machine which will be produced by the Sochi Division. The MBC-67 Blender / Chopper machine has a selling price of USD 5,600 and requires additional variable production costs of USD 2,680. The transfer price between the two divisions has been set at USD 3,000.
The management of Spartac Corp hopes to start producing and marketing MBC-67 products. However, production cannot run if the transfer of MK-19 products from the Yekaterinburg Division to the Sochi Division does not occur, given the high…

- Mossfort, Inc., has a division in Canada that makes long-lasting exterior wood stain. Mossfort has another U.S. division, the Retail Division, that operates a chain of home improvement stores. The Retail Division would like to buy the unique, long-lasting wood stain from the Canadian division, since this type of stain is not currently available. The Exterior Stain Division incurs manufacturing costs of 13.45 for one gallon of stain. If the Retail Division purchases the stain from the Canadian division, the shipping costs will be 1.40 per gallon, but sales commissions of 0.75 per gallon will be avoided with an internal transfer. The Retail Division plans to sell the stain for 32.80 per gallon. Normally, the Retail Division earns a gross margin of 35 percent above cost of goods sold. Required: 1. Which Section 482 method should be used to calculate the allowable transfer price? 2. Calculate the appropriate transfer price per gallon. (Round to the nearest cent.)arrow_forwardRolertyme Company manufactures roller skates. With the exception of the rollers, all parts of the skates are produced internally. Neeta Booth, president of Rolertyme, has decided to make the rollers instead of buying them from external suppliers. The company needs 100,000 sets per year (currently it pays 1.90 per set of rollers). The rollers can be produced using an available area within the plant. However, equipment for production of the rollers would need to be leased (30,000 per year lease payment). Additionally, it would cost 0.50 per machine hour for power, oil, and other operating expenses. The equipment will provide 60,000 machine hours per year. Direct material costs will average 0.75 per set, and direct labor will average 0.25 per set. Since only one type of roller would be produced, no additional demands would be made on the setup activity. Other overhead activities (besides machining and setups), however, would be affected. The companys cost management system provides the following information about the current status of the overhead activities that would be affected. (The supply and demand figures do not include the effect of roller production on these activities.) The lumpy quantity indicates how much capacity must be purchased should any expansion of activity supply be needed. The purchase price is the cost of acquiring the capacity represented by the lumpy quantity. This price also represents the cost of current spending on existing activity supply (for each block of activity). Production of rollers would place the following demands on the overhead activities: Producing the rollers also means that the purchase of outside rollers will cease. Thus, purchase orders associated with the outside acquisition of rollers will drop by 5,000. Similarly, the moves for the handling of incoming orders will decrease by 200. The company has not inspected the rollers purchased from outside suppliers. Required: 1. Classify all resources associated with the production of rollers as flexible resources and committed resources. Label each committed resource as a short- or long-term commitment. How should we describe the cost behavior of these short- and long-term resource commitments? Explain. 2. Calculate the total annual resource spending (for all activities except for setups) that the company will incur after production of the rollers begins. Break this cost into fixed and variable activity costs. In calculating these figures, assume that the company will spend no more than necessary. What is the effect on resource spending caused by production of the rollers? 3. Refer to Requirement 2. For each activity, break down the cost of activity supplied into the cost of activity output and the cost of unused activity.arrow_forwardMaterials used by the Instrument Division of Ziegler Inc. are currently purchased from outside suppliers at a cost of 1,350 per unit.
