Division P can make a unit for a standard variable cost of £10 and a standard fixed cost per unit (based on budgeted production) of £3. This would then be transferred to Division Q, which would have a further standard variable cost of £8 and fixed costs per unit of £4 before selling at £21 per unit. There are no external markets for the item to be transferred between divisions. If the transfer price is set at £12, what will be the reaction of the divisions? Division P Division Q A) Will be willing to produce units Will be willing to produce units B) Will be willing to produce units Will be unwilling to produce units C) Will be unwilling to produce units Will be willing to produce units D) Will be willing to produce units Will be unwilling to produce units

hello, please give more emphasis on points a,b,c, and d Spark Ltd has two divisions, assembly and electrical. The assembly division transfers partiallycompleted components to the electrical division at a predetermined transfer price. The assemblydivision’s standard variable production cost per unit is $550. This division has spare capacity, and itcould sell all its components to outside buyers at $680 per unit in a perfectly competitive market.Required:a) Determine a transfer price using the general rule.b) How would the transfer price change if the assembly division had no spare capacity? c) What transfer price would you recommend if there was no outside market for the transferredcomponent and the assembly division had spare capacity? d) Explain how negotiation between the supplying and buying units may be used to set transferprices. How does this relate to the general transfer pricing rule?
