Calculating Transfer Price
Jelkin Corporation is a processor of apples. The manufacturing facility has two divisions: the puree division and the finishing division. As apples arrive at the facility, the puree division cleans and purees the apples into a smooth sauce. The apple sauce may be packaged in the puree division and sold on the wholesale market for $22 a batch, or transferred to the finishing division where it is packaged in glass jars and sold to grocery stores for $35 per batch. Jelkin is able to produce 400,000 batches per year and reports the following costs per batch:
Puree Division Finishing Division
Direct material cost $ 8.00 $ 6.00
Direct manufacturing labour cost 2.500.75
Variable overhead cost 3.251.50
Fixed overhead cost 1.252.75
