Sembotix Company has several divisions including a Semiconductor Division that sells semiconductors to both internal and external customers. The company's X-ray Division uses semiconductors as a component in its final product and is evaluating whether to purchase them from the Semiconductor Division or from an external supplier. The market price for semiconductors is $100 per 100 semiconductors. Dave Bryant is the controller of the X-ray Division, and Howard Hillman is the controller of the Semiconductor Division. The following conversation took place between Dave and Howard:
Dave: I hear you are having problems selling semiconductors out of your division. Maybe I can help.
Howard: You've got that right. We're producing and selling at about 90% of our capacity to outsiders. Last year we were selling 100% of capacity. Would it be possible for your division to pick up some of the excess capacity? After all, we are part of the same company.
Dave: What kind of price can you give me?…
Lansing Electronics Inc. manufactures a variety of printers, scanners, and fax machines in itstwo divisions: the PSF Division and the Components Division. The Components Division produces electronic components that can be used by the PSF Division. All the components thisdivision produces can be sold to outside customers. However, from the beginning, nearly allof its output has been used internally. The current policy requires that all internal transfers ofcomponents be transferred at full cost.Recently, Cam DeVonn, the chief executive officer of Lansing Electronics, decided to investigate the transfer pricing policy. He was concerned that the current method of pricing internaltransfers might force decisions by divisional managers that would be suboptimal for the firm. Aspart of his inquiry, he gathered some information concerning Component Y34, which is usedby the PSF Division in its production of a basic scanner, Model SC67.The PSF Division sells 40,000 units of Model SC67 each year…
Marin Company produces two software products (Cloud-X and Cloud-Y) in two separate departments (A and B). These products are highly regarded network maintenance programs. Cloud-X is used for small networks and Cloud-Y is used for large networks. Marin is known for the quality of its products and its ability to meet dates promised for software upgrades.
Department A produces Cloud-X, and department B produces Cloud-Y. The production departments are supported by two support departments, systems design and programming services. The sources and uses of the support department time are summarized as follows:
1. Determine the total support costs allocated to each of the producing departments using (a) the direct method, (b) the step method (design department goes first), and (c) the reciprocal method.

In simplified terms, chip making at JCL Inc. involves three basic operations: depositing, patterning, and etching. • Depositing: Using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology, an insulating material is deposited on the wafer surface, forming a thin layer of solid material on the chip. • Patterning: Photolithography projects a microscopic circuit pattern on the wafer surface, which has a light-sensitive chemical like the emulsion on photographic film. It is repeated many times as each layer of the chip is built. • Etching: Etching removes selected material from the chip surface to create the device structures. Table 7.4 lists the required processing times and setup times at each of the steps. There is unlimited space for buffer inventory between these steps.

The company produces two, related, parts at its Park River Plant, the models SF-08 and SF-48. The differences in the models are the quality of the materials and the precision to which they are produced. The SF-48 model is used in applications where the precision is critical and thus requires greater oversight in the production process. Although sales remain reasonably strong, managers at SFG have noticed that the company is meeting more resistance to the pricing for SF-08, although there seems to be little need for negotiation on the price of the SF-48 model. As a result, the marketing manager at SFG has asked the financial staff to review the costs of the two products to understand better what might be happening in the market.

The difference in the two models relates to the required accuracy of the sensor. The Standard model is used for most normal operations while the High-Performance model is used for high-altitude and specialized missions. Before shipment, the two models are passed through a machine that, among other things, certifies the accuracy of the sensor. The company only has one testing machine. The price and costs of the two sensor models are shown here: Price per sensor Standard $ 52 $ 34 0.04 Variable cost per sensor Testing hours per sensor The testing machine used for both models has a capacity of 8.250 hours annually. Fixed manufacturing costs are $2,400,000 annually. Required: a.

However, increased competition, particularly from Japanese firms, has caused HRI's management to be concerned about the company's growth potential in the future. HRI's research and development department have been applying the industrial robot technology to develop a line of household robots. The household robot is designed to function as a maid, mainlyperforming such tasks as vacuuming floors and carpets. This effort has nowreached the stage where a decision on whether to go forward with production must be made. The engineering department has estimated that the firm would need a new manufacturing plant with the following construction schedule: The plant would require a 35-acre site, and HRI currently has an option to purchase a suitable tract of land for $2.5 million.
