The Automobile Division of American Motorspurchases most of its transmission systems from another unit of the company. The TransmissionDivision’s incremental cost for manufacturing a standard transmission is approximately $1,350 perunit. This division is currently working at 75% of capacity. The current market price for a standardtransmission is approximately $1,875.Required2. Suppose now that American Motors requires that whenever divisions with excess capacity sell their output internally to other divisions of the company, they must do so at the incremental cost of the supplying (producing) division. Evaluate this transfer pricing rule vis-à-vis each of the following objectives:autonomy, goal congruence, performance evaluation of the divisions, and motivation/incentive effects.3. If the two divisions of American Motors were to negotiate a…

Machina Division produces the EXP-100 model espresso maker that can be used by Java Division to create various coffee drinks. The market price of the EXP-100 model is 950, and the full cost of the EXP-100 model is 475. Required: 1. 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. Now suppose that Teslum allows negotiated transfer pricing and that Machina Division can avoid 135 of selling expense by selling to Java Division. Which division sets the minimum transfer price, and what is it? Which division sets the maximum transfer price, and what is it? Do you suppose that Machina and Java divisions would choose to transfer somewhere in the bargaining range?arrow_forwardManagement of Green Peak Tea Company has asked you, the controller, to develop a transfer pricing system for the company. The Brewing Department of the company sells all of its product to the Bottling Department of the company. Thus the Brewing Departments sales become the Bottling Departments cost of goods sold. In order to determine an optimal transfer pricing system, management would like you to demonstrate what an income statement would look like under a cost, market, and negotiated transfer pricing structure. These various transfer prices are listed as follows. Prepare an income statement for each of the transfer prices by filling in the missing numbers in the provided income statement based on each transfer price (thus four different income statements) and calculate the operating income/loss percentage.

- Assume you are the department B manager for Marleys Manufacturing. Marleys operates under a cost-based transfer structure. Assume you receive the majority of your raw materials from department A, which sells only o department B (they have no outside sales). After calculating the operating income in dollars and operating income in percentage, analyze the following financial information to determine costs that may need further investigation. (Hint: It may be helpful to perform a vertical analysis.)arrow_forwardMorrisons Plastics Division, a profit center, sells its products to external customers as well as to other internal profit centers. Which one of the following circumstances would justify the Plastics Division selling a product internally to another profit center at a price that is below the market-based transfer price? a. The buying unit has excess capacity. b. The selling unit is operating at full capacity. c. Routine sales commissions and collection costs would be avoided. d. The profit centers managers are evaluated on the basis of unit operating income.arrow_forwardProduct pricing using the cost-plus approach methods; differential analysis for accepting additional business Crystal Displays Inc. recently began production of a new product, flat panel displays, which required the investment of 1,500,000 in assets. The costs of producing and selling 5,000 units of flat panel displays are estimated as follows: Crystal Displays Inc. is currently considering establishing a selling price for flat panel displays. The president of Crystal Displays has decided to use the cost-plus approach to product pricing and has indicated that the displays must earn a 15% return on invested assets. Instructions 1. Determine the amount of desired profit from the production and sale of flat panel displays. 2. Assuming that the product cost method is used, determine (A) the cost amount per unit, (B) the markup percentage, and (C) the selling price of flat panel displays. 3. (Appendix) Assuming that the total cost method is used, determine (A) the cost amount per unit, (B) the markup percentage (rounded to two decimal places), and (C) the selling price of flat panel displays. (Round markup to nearest whole dollar.) 4. (Appendix) Assuming that the variable cost method is used, determine (A) the cost amount per unit, (B) the markup percentage (rounded to two decimal places), and (C) the selling price of flat panel displays. (Round markup to nearest whole dollar.) 5. Comment on any additional considerations that could influence establishing the selling price for flat panel displays. 6. Assume that as of August 1, 3,000 units of flat panel displays have been produced and sold during the current year. Analysis of the domestic market indicates that 2,000 additional units are expected to be sold during the remainder of the year at the normal product price determined under the product cost method. On August 3, Crystal Displays Inc. received an offer from Maple Leaf Visual Inc. for 800 units of flat panel displays at 225 each. Maple Leaf Visual Inc. will market the units in Canada under its own brand name, and no variable selling and administrative expenses associated with the sale will be incurred by Crystal Displays Inc. The additional business is not expected to affect the domestic sales of flat panel displays, and the additional units could be produced using existing factory, selling, and administrative capacity. A. Prepare a differential analysis of the proposed sale to Maple Leaf Visual Inc. B. Based on the differential analysis in part (A), should the proposal be accepted?arrow_forward
