The Kelly-Elias Corporation, manufacturer of tractors and other heavy farm equipment, is organized along decentralized product lines, with each manufacturing division operating as a separate profit center. Each division manager has been delegated full authority on all decisions involving the sale of that division’s output both to outsiders and to other divisions of Kelly-Elias. Division C has in the past always purchased its requirement of a particular tractor-engine component from division A. However, when informed that division A is increasing its selling price to $135, division C’s manager decides to purchase the engine component from external suppliers. Division C can purchase the component for $115 per unit in the open market. Division A insists that, because of the recent installation of some highly specialized equipment and the resulting high depreciation charges, it will not be able to earn an adequate return on its investment unless it raises its price.

- XYZ is a large multinational company that is structured into six divisions. Many of the divisions trade with each other, usually providing intermediate components that are then used in the manufacture of final products in the other division. The senior management of XYZ has a policy of using dual-rate transfer prices for all inter- divisional transactions (where the supplying division receives the full cost plus a mark-up on each transaction and the receiving division is charged at the variable cost of the transfers. However, a number of concerns have been expressed about the policy including the following; (i) The use of different transfer prices can cause confusion between divisions (ii) Different transfer prices can increase divisional incentives to compete effectively (iii) Different transfer prices can lead to the double counting of internal profits Which of the above claims made about dual-rate transfer prices is/are incorrect? a.

Assume that Mendoza is exploring whether to enter a complementary line of business. The existing business line generates annual cash revenues of approximately $5,000,000 and cash expenses of $3,600,000, one-third of which are labor costs. The current level of investment in this existing division is $12,000,000. (Sales and costs of this division are not affected by the investment decision regarding the complementary line.)Mendoza estimates that incremental (noncash) net working capital of $30,000 will be needed to support the new business line. No additional facilities-level costs would be needed to support the new line—there is currently sufficient excess capacity. However, the new line would require additional cash expenses (overhead costs) of $400,000 per year. Raw materials costs associated with the new line are expected to be $1,200,000 per year, while the…arrow_forwardThis exercise parallels the machine-purchase decision for the Mendoza Company that is discussed in the body of the chapter.
