The Molding Division of Cotwold Company manufactures a plastic casing used by the Assembly Division. This casing is also sold to
external customers for $36 per unit Variable costs for the casing are $12 per unit, and fixed cost is $5 per unit Cotwold executives
would like for the Molding Division to transfer 19,000 units to the Assembly Division at a price of $30 per unit. Assume that the Molding
Division has excess capacity, but the Assembly Division requires the casing to be made from a specific blend of plastics. This would
raise the variable cost per unit to $33

1. Should the Molding Division accept the $30 transfer price proposed by management?
2. Determine the minimum transfer price that it will accept.
3. Determine the mutually beneficial transfer price so that the two divisions equally split the profits from the transfer

The budgeted conversion costs for the manufacturing cell dedicated to the product are 12,960,000 per year. The total labor minutes available are 1,440,000. During the year, the cell was able to produce 0.6 units of the product per hour. Suppose also that production incentives exist to minimize unit product costs. Required: 1. Compute the theoretical conversion cost per unit. 2. Compute the applied conversion cost per minute (the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to the product). 3. Discuss how this approach to assigning conversion cost can improve delivery time performance. Explain how conversion cost acts as a performance driver for on-time deliveries.arrow_forward
