Required:

1. Refer to the data in case A above. Assume in this case that $2 per unit in variable selling costs can be avoided on intracompany sales.

a. What is the lowest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the selling division?

b. What is the highest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the buying division?

c. What is the range of acceptable transfer prices (if any) between the two divisions? If the managers are free to negotiate and make decisions on their own, will a transfer probably take place?

A = 54

B = 49

C = 0 < Transfer price < 0

Explanation / Answer

2a.

Total capacity = 93000 units

Utilised capacity = 68000 units

Spare capacity = 25000 units

No. of units required by division y = 25000 units.

division x has the spare capacity to produce 25000 units for division Y . Hence the lowest acceptable transfer price from perspective of selling division would be the Variable cost per unit i.e $ 10.

2b.

The highest acceptable transfer price from perspective of buying division would be the purchase price per unit now being paid to an outside supplier i.e $ 20.

2c.

range = 10 < transfer price < 20 .

Yes managers are likely to agree on a transfer price
