This refers to a process of pricing in which one sub-unit of an organization charges a price to another sub-unit for supplying a product or service to the sub-unit of the same organization.

B.
To determine
Whether the 800 units should be transferred to division A and at what transfer price.
C.
To determine
The contribution to the company as a whole if the transfer were made and as a manager whether buying can be done at $110.

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. Prepare a brief summary of the results.arrow_forward
