Kojo Company uses cost-based transfer pricing. Its Food Processing Division has a standard variable cost of $10.10 per case and allocated fixed overhead of $3.05. The Processing Division, which has excess capacity, sells its output to external customers for $13.60 per case. If Kojo uses full (or absorption) cost as its base, what would be the transfer price charged to its Retail Division?

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…
Assume you are the department B manager for Marleys manufacturing. Marley’s operates under a cost-based transfer structure. Assume you receive the majority of your raw materials from department A, which sells only to department B (they have no outside sales) Assume the market price for the items your department purchase is 15% below what you are being charged by department A of Marley’s manufacturing. Determine the operating income for department B, assuming department A “sold” department B 1,000 unit during the month and department A reduced the selling price to the market price. Round your percentage answer to one decimal.
Carol Components operates a Production Division and a Packaging Division. Both divisions are evaluated as profit centers. Packaging buys components from Production and assembles them for sale. Production sells many components to third parties in addition to Packaging. Selected data from the two operations follow: Capacity (units) Sales price Variable costsb Fixed costs a For Production, this is the price to third parties. b For Packaging, this does not include the transfer price paid to Production. Suppose Production is located in Country A with a tax rate of 30 percent and Distribution in Country B with a tax rate of 10 percent. All other facts remain the same. a. Optimal transfer price b. Transfer price c Transfer price Required: a. Current output in Production is 25,300 units. Packaging requests an additional 5,960 units to produce a special order.

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

Using the formula in the text, if the lowest acceptable transfer price from the viewpoint of the selling division is $95 and the opportunity cost per unit on outside sales is $38, then the variable cost per unit must be:
When the selling division in an Internal transfer can sell every product at Its market price, then the lowest acceptable transter price as far as the seling diion is concened is Multiple Cholce The amount that the purchasing division would have to pay an outslde seller to acquire a similar product for Its use. The fixed cost of producing a unit of product. The market price charged to outside customers. The variable cost of producing a unit of product. Total cost of producing a unit of product.
Assume you are the department B manager for Marley's Manufacturing. Marley's operates under a cost-based transfer structure. Assume you receive the majority of your raw materials from department A, which sells only to department B (they have no outside sales). After calculating the operating income in dollars and operating income in percentage, analyze the following financial information to determine costs that may need further investigation.
