Decision on transfer pricing Materials used by the Instrument Division of Ziegler Inc. are currently purchased from outside suppliers at a cost of $316 per unit. However, the same materials are available from the Components Division. The Components Division has unused capacity and can produce the materials needed by the Instrument Division at a variable cost of $262 per unit. a. If a transfer price of $288 per unit is established and 27,900 units of materials are transferred, with no reduction in the Components Division's current sales, how much would Ziegler Inc.'s total operating income increase? b. How much would the Instrument Division's operating income increase? C. How much would the Components Division's operating income increase?

Differential Analysis for Further Processing The management of International Aluminum Co. is considering whether to process aluminum ingot further into rolled aluminum. Rolled aluminum can be sold for $2,300 per ton, and ingot can be sold without further processing for $1,150 per ton. Ingot is produced in batches of 88 tons by smelting 550 tons of bauxite, which costs $110 per ton of bauxite. Rolled aluminum will require additional processing costs of $650 per ton of ingot, and 1.25 tons of ingot will produce 1 ton of rolled aluminum. Required: 1. Prepare a differential analysis as of February 5 to determine whether to sell aluminum ingot (Alternative 1) or process further into rolled aluminum (Alternative 2), If required, do not round interim calculations. If required, use a minus sign to indicate a loss.

Determining Market-Based and Negotiated Transfer Prices Carreker, Inc., has a number of divisions, including the Alamosa Division, producer of surgical blades, and the Tavaris Division, a manufacturer of medical instruments. Alamosa Division produces a 2.5 cm steel blade that can be used by Tavaris Division in the production of scalpels. The market price of the blade is $25. Cost information for the blade is: Variable product cost $ 9.40 Fixed cost 5.00 Total product cost $14.40 Tavaris needs 18,000 units of the 2.5 cm blade per year. Alamosa Division is at full capacity (84,000 units of the blade). Required: 1. If Carreker, Inc., has a transfer pricing policy that requires transfer at market price, what would the transfer price be?$ fill in the blank 1per unit Do you suppose that Alamosa and Tavaris divisions would choose to transfer at that price? 2. Now suppose that Carreker, Inc., allows negotiated transfer pricing and that Alamosa Division can avoid $1.50 of selling…

The materials used by the North Division of Horton Company are currently purchased from outside suppliers at $29 per unit. These same materials are produced by Horton’s South Division. The South Division can produce the materials needed by the North Division at a variable cost of $14 per unit. The division is currently producing 126,000 units and has capacity of 180,000 units. The two divisions have recently negotiated a transfer price of $20 per unit for 54,000 units. By how much will each division's income increase as a result of this transfer?

General guideline, transfer pricing. The Slate Company manufactures and sells television sets. Its assembly division (AD) buys television screens from the screen division (SD) and assembles the TV sets. The SD, which is operating at capacity,incurs an incremental manufacturing cost of $65 per screen. The SD can sell all its output to the outside market at a priceof $100 per screen, after incurring a variable marketing and distribution cost of $8 per screen. If the AD purchases screens from outside suppliers at a price of $100 per screen, it will incur a variable purchasing cost of $7 per screen. Slate’s division managers can act autonomously to maximize their own division’s operating income.1. What is the minimum transfer price at which the SD manager would be willing to sell screens to the AD?2. What is the maximum transfer price at which the AD manager would be willing to purchase screens from the SD?3. Now suppose that the SD can sell only 70% of its output capacity of 20,000…
Decision on transfer pricing Materials used by the Instrument Division of Ziegler Inc. are currently purchased from outside suppliers at a cost of $447 per unit. However, the same materials are available from the Components Division. The Components Division has unused capacity and can produce the materials needed by the Instrument Division at a variable cost of $371 per unit. Assume that a transfer price of $425 has been established and that 26,500 units of materials are transferred, with no reduction in the Components Division's current sales. a. How much would Ziegler Inc.'s total operating income increase? b. How much would the Instrument Division's operating income increase? C. How much would the Components Division's operating income increase? d. Any transfer price will cause the total income of the company to as long as the supplier division capacity is toward making materials for products that are ultimately sold to the outside.
A newly formed company must decide on a plant location. There are two alternatives under consideration: locate near the major raw materials or locate near the major customers. Locating near the raw materials will result in lower fixed and variable costs than locating near the market, but the owners believe that there would be a loss in sales volume because customers tend to favour local suppliers. Revenue per unit will be $160 in either case. Annual fixed costs ($ millions) Variable cost per unit Expected annual demand (units) Near raw materials Near customers 1. Using the above given information, determine the profits for each alternative. (Negative answers should be indicated by a minus sign.) 64 2. Which location would produce greater profit? O Near raw materials O Near customers Near Raw Materials $0.90 $ 40 8,600 Near Customers $1.00 $ 45 13,300
