MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING FOR MANAGERS
- Chapter: Traditional Performance Measurement Systems & Transfer Pricing (Managerial Accounting) Q) Spark Ltd has two divisions, assembly and electrical. The assembly division transfers partially completed components to the electrical division at predetermined transfer price. The assembly division’s standard variable production cost per unit is $550. This division has spare capacity, and it could sell all its components to outside buyers at $680 per unit in a perfectly competitive market. Requirement: Explain how negotiation between the supplying and buying units may be used to set transfer prices. How does this relate to the general transfer pricing rule?

Division B is now purchasing these parts from an outside supplier at a price of $22 each. Suppose that Division A has ample idle capacity to handle all of Division B's needs without any increase in fixed costs and without cutting into sales to outside customers. If Division A refuses to accept the $22 price internally and Division B continues to buy from the outside supplier, the company as a whole will be: Multiple Choice worse off by $49,500 each period. worse off by $99,000 each period. worse off by $25,400 each period. worse off by $65,100 each period.arrow_forward

- 6. Transfer Price Computation Pakyaw Company is operating with two divisions. Division S is producing a product line that is required as a component part of the product being manufactured by Division B. For Division S, the costs of producing the component part per unit are: P 10 Direct materials Direct labor P8 P5 P2 Variable factory overhead Fixed factory overhead The product of Division S is being sold in a highly competitive market for P 30 per unit. Division B is currently buying 80% of the production output of Division S at a negotiated price of P 28 per unit. It is expected that 25,000 units of product will be produced by Division S. With emphasis on divisional welfare rather than the company's welfare, a new transfer price must be developed. It is suggested that a 40% mark-up on cost will be added when transferring the product from Division S to Division B. The unit selling price of the product of Division B is P 45 while the additional unit processing cost is P 8. REQUIRED:…arrow_forwardTransfer Pricing from the Viewpoint of the Entire Company Division A manufactures electronic circuit boards. The boards can be sold either to Division B of the same company or to outside customers. Last year, the following activity occurred in Division A: Sales to Division B were at the same price as sales to outside customers. The circuit boards purchased by Division B were used in an electronic instrument manufactured by that division (one board per instrument). Division B incurred $100 in additional variable cost per instrument and then sold the instruments for $300 each. Required: 1. Prepare income statements for Division A, Division B, and the company as a whole. 2. Assume Division A’s manufacturing capacity is 20,000 circuit boards. Next year, Division B wants to purchase 5,000 circuit boards from Division A rather than 4,000. (Circuit boards of this type are not available from outside sources.)

Components transferred between the two divisions are recorded at a predetermined transfer price. Standard variable manufacturing cost per unit in the Fabrication Division is $350. At the present time, this division is working to capacity. Fabrication estimates that the units it produces could be sold on the external market for $580. The product under consideration is viewed as a commodity-type product, with no differentiating features or characteristics. Required: 2. Based on the general transfer pricing rule presented in the chapter, what is the minimum transfer price between units when the Fabrication Division is working to capacity? 3.
