Answer to Problem 11A.1E
Lowest acceptable transfer price is $42 and highest acceptable transfer price is $57.
Explanation of Solution
- Transfer price for lowest acceptable price.
- Transfer price for highest acceptable price:
- By combining the requirements of selling division and buying division the acceptable transfer price will be $42 if 5,000 speakers are sold. Managers understand their own businesses so they will be ready to accept this transfer price.
- If seen from the standpoint of the company the transfer should take place. By combining the requirements of selling division and buying division the acceptable transfer price will be $42 if 5,000 speakers are sold. Company sold speakers for $42 than selling them at $57 that is the market price.
If company can buy the speakers from outside supplier for $57 then the transfer price for highest acceptable price will be $57. So it is acceptable for the company to pay the price that is the market price.

Answer to Problem 11A.1E
Lowest acceptable transfer price is $60 and highest acceptable transfer price is $57.
Explanation of Solution
- Transfer price for lowest acceptable price.

- H 3 Assume that the external supplier reduced the selling price to $700 per unit of XT86 to the Products Division. The Components Division reduced the price for external customers to $800, but sales to external customers could be increased only to 45,000 units of XT86. Products Division wants to acquire as many as 20,000 units if the transfer price is acceptable. For simplicity assume that there is no external market for the final 5,000 units of Components Division’s capacity. a) Using the general guideline, what is (are) the minimum transfer price (s) that should lead to the correct economic decision?

- Question 3 Spark Ltd has two divisions, assembly and electrical. The assembly division transfers partially completed components to the electrical division at a predetermined transfer price. The assembly division’s standard variable production cost per unit is $550. This division has spare capacity, and it could sell all its components to outside buyers at $680 per unit in a perfectly competitive market. Required: Determine a transfer price using the general rule. How would the transfer price change if the assembly division had no spare capacity? What transfer price would you recommend if there was no outside market for the transferred component and the assembly division had spare capacity? How negotiation between the supplying and buying units may be used to set transfer prices. How does this relate to the general transfer pricing rule?arrow_forwardExercise 22-20B Determining transfer prices LO C2 The Trailer division of Baxter Bicycles makes bike trailers that attach to bicycles and can carry children or cargo.

Do you have any ideas? Thomas: Well. I think the best strategy would be to become aggressive on price. James: How aggressive? James: lf we drop the price to 60 per unit and maintain our advertising budget at 15,000,000. I think we will generate total sales of 2,000,000 units. James: I think that's the wrong way to go. You're giving up too much on price. Instead, I think we need to follow an aggressive advertising strategy. Thomas: How aggressive? James: If we increase our advertising to a total of 25,000,000, we should be able to increase sales volume to 1,400,000 units without any change in price. Thomas: l dont think that's reasonable. We'll never cover the increased advertising costs.

The commercial products division annually purchases 10,600 units of part 23–6711, which the industrial division produces for use in manufacturing one of its own products. The commercial division is growing rapidly; it is expanding its production and now wants to increase its purchases of part 23–6711 to 15,600 units per year. The problem is that the industrial division is at full capacity. No new investment in the industrial division has been made for some years because top management sees little future growth in its products, so its capacity is unlikely to increase soon. The commercial division can buy part 23–6711 from Advanced Micro Incorporated or from Admiral Electric, a customer of the industrial division now purchasing 680 units of part 88–461.
