Suppose Division B could use the excess capacity to produce and sell externally 20,400 units of a new product at a price of $7.72 per unit. The variable cost for this new product is $6.50 per unit. What should be the minimum transfer price accepted by Division B for the 11,300 lamps and the maximum transfer price paid by Division A? (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.)

Explanation / Answer

a)

Minimum transfer price accepted by B = 6.14

B have exess capacity so they needs to charge the variable cost only. except variable cost for external sales.

=7.50-1.36=6.14

*)

Maximum price paid by Division A will be 9.87. Because it is the other available option for them.and they also buy from externally for $ 9.87.

b)

Minimum transfer price accepted by B = 7.36

Variable cost + oppertunity cos(lost contribution margin)

Lost contribution margin for B for give lamps for division A= 7.72-6.50=1.22

*)

Maximum price paid by division A = 9.87

Because not yet there is any more compatitive prices available.Division A does't have any other option.
