Accounting

In each of the cases below, assume Division X has a product that can be sold either to outside customers or to Division Y of the same company for use in its production process. The managers of the divisions are evaluated based on their divisional profits.

Case
A B
Division X:
Capacity in units 104,000 101,000
Number of units being sold to outside customers 104,000 78,000
Selling price per unit to outside customers $ 56 $ 28
Variable costs per unit $ 21 $ 13
Fixed costs per unit (based on capacity) $ 9 $ 5
Division Y:
Number of units needed for production 23,000 23,000
Purchase price per unit now being paid to an outside supplier $ 52 $ 26

2. Refer to the data in case B above. In this case, there will be no savings in variable selling costs on intracompany sales.

a. What is the lowest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the selling division?

b. What is the highest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the buying division?

c. What is the range of acceptable transfer prices (if any) between the two divisions? If the managers are free to negotiate and make decisions on their own, will a transfer probably take place?
