PROBLEM 11A-4 Transfer Price with an Outside Market LO11-5
Hrubec Products, Inc., operates a Pulp Division that manufactures wood pulp for use in the production of various paper goods. Revenue and costs associated with a ton of pulp follow:
Hrubec Products has just acquired a small company that manufactures paper cartons. This company will be treated as a division of Hrubec with full profit responsibility. The newly formed Carton Division is currently purchasing 5:000 tons of pulp per year from a supplier at a cost of $70 per ton, less a 10% purchase discount. Hrubec7s president is anxious for the Carton Division to begin purchasing its pulp from the Pulp Division if an acceptable transfer price can be worked out.
Required:
For (1) and (2) below, assume the Pulp Division can sell all of its pulp to outside customers for $70 per ton.
- What is the lowest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the Pulp Division? What is the highest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the Carton Division? What is the range of acceptable transfer prices (if any) between the two divisions? Are the managers of the Carton and Pulp Divisions likely to voluntarily agree to a transfer price for 5,000 tons of pulp next year? Why or why not?
- If the Pulp Division meets the price that the Carton Division is currently paying to its supplier and sells 5,000 tons of pulp to the Carton Division each year, what will be the effect on the profits of the Pulp Division, the Carton Division, and the company as a whole? For (3)-(6) below, assume that the Pulp Division is currently selling only 30,000 tons of pulp each year to outside customers at the stated $70 price.

- AIP 6.11 Transfer Price LO 6 UK Pumps is a multi-divisional firm that manufactures and installs chemical piping and pump systems. The Valve Division makes a single standardized valve. Two divisions, the Valve Division and the Installation Division, are currently involved in a transfer-pricing dispute. Last year, half of the Valve Division's output was sold to the Installation Division for £40 and the remaining half was sold to outsiders for £60. The existing transfer price of £40 per pump has been set through a negotiation process between the two divisions and also with the involvement of senior management. The Installation Division has received a bid from an outside valve manufacturer to supply it with an equivalent valve for £35 each.
