Case 11-26 (Algo) Transfer Pricing; Divisional Performance [LO11-3]
Weller Industries is a decentralized organization with six divisions. The company’s Electrical Division produces a variety of electrical items, including an X52 electrical fitting. The Electrical Division (which is operating at capacity) sells this fitting to its regular customers for $8.30 each; the fitting has a variable manufacturing cost of $4.70.
The company’s Brake Division has asked the Electrical Division to supply it with a large quantity of X52 fittings for only $6.30 each. The Brake Division, which is operating at 50% of capacity, will put the fitting into a brake unit that it will produce and sell to a large commercial airline manufacturer. The cost of the brake unit being built by the Brake Division follows:

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? Ignore performance evaluation considerations.
b) What is the range between the minimum and maximum transfer price the managers of component and products divisions can negotiate the final TP?
