- Basic Transfer Pricing Alpha and Beta are divisions within the same company. The managers of both divisions are evaluated based on their own division’s return on investment (ROI). Assume the following information relative to the two divisions: Managers are free to decide if they will participate in any internal transfers. All transfer prices are negotiated. Required: 1. Refer to case 1 shown above. Alpha Division can avoid $2 per unit in commissions on any sales to Beta Division. a. What is the lowest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the Alpha Division? b. What is the highest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the Beta Division? c. What is the range of acceptable transfer prices (if any) between the two divisions? Will the managers probably agree to a transfer? Explain. 2. Refer to case 2 shown above.

- Calculating Transfer Price Burt Inc. has a number of divisions, including the Indian Division, a producer of liquid pumps, and Maple Division, a manufacturer of boat engines. Indian Division produces the h20-model pump that can be used by Maple Division in the production of motors that regulate the raising and lowering of the boat engir stern drive unit. The market price of the h20-model is $724, and the full cost of the h20-model is $540. Required: 1.

- Management of Great Springs Bottled Water Company has asked you, the controller, to develop a transfer pricing system for the company. The Transportation Department of the company sells all of its product to the Bottling Department of the company. Thus the Transportation 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_forwardManagement of Green Peak Tea Company has asked you, the controller, to develop a transfer pricing system for the company.

- The Fruity Bakers specialize in making delicious cakes. Their trademark fruit cake is made in Division X (the supplying division) and sold to external customers for them to decorate, or it can be enjoyed plain. It is also transferred to Division Y (the receiving division) where it is iced and decorated to be sold as a luxury wedding cake. Fruity Bakers are currently trying to decide what the optimum price to sell the cakes from Division X to Y should be in order to motivate the managers of both divisions.
