Peppertree Company has two divisions, East and West. Division East manufactures a component that Division West uses. The variable cost to produce this component is $1.56 per unit; full cost is $1.98. The component sells on the open market for $4.96. Assuming Division East has excess capacity, what is the lowest price Division East will accept for the component? What is the highest price that Division West will pay for it? (Enter your answers in 2 decimal places.)
The Compressor Division and the Fabrication Division of Plash Company, which exclusively produces one type of washing machine, respectively, are its two divisions. For the Fabrication Division, which completes the washing machine and sells it to retailers, the Compressor Division makes compressors. The Fabrication Division buys compressors from the Compressor Division. The Fabrication Division will spend $40.00 on a compressor, which is the market price. (Skip updates to the inventory.) It is expected that the fixed costs for the Compressor Division remain constant for orders between 5,000 and 10,000 units. The Fabrication Division's fixed expenses are estimated to be $7.50 per unit at 10,000 units. Compressor's costs per compressor are: Direct materials $15.00 Direct labor $7.25 Variable overhead $3.00 Division fixed costs $7.50 Fabrication's costs per completed air conditioner are: Direct materials $150.00 Direct labor $62.50 Variable overhead $20.00 Division fixed costs $7.50 Assume…
Glide Behind Corporation manufactures and sells small cargo trailers. The Wheel Division creates parts that are both sold externally and transferred internally to the Assembly Division. Variable production costs of wheel set #102 are $80, and each set sells externally for $150. What would you recommend as the internal transfer price from the Wheel Division to the Assembly Division if a competitive external market exists for wheel set #102? Would your answer change if there were no external market this component? Why? What would the transfer price be if upper management required cost plus 25 percent as the transfer price?
Alpine Luggage has a capacity to produce 430,000 sultcases per year. The company is currently producing and selling 350,000 units per year at a selling price of $400 per case.

It will not have to pay any sales commission on the special order, so the variable selling and administrative costs would be only $52 per sultcase. The special order would have no effect on total fixed costs. The company has rejected the offer based on the following computations: Sales revenue Variable costs Manufacturing Selling and…

Industrial Robots does not manufacture its own motors or computer chips. Its premium product differs from its standard product in having heavier-duty motors and more computer chips for greater flexibility. As a result, Industrial Robots manufactures a higher fraction of the standard product’s value itself, and it purchases a higher fraction of the premium product’s value. Use the following data to allocate $850,000 in overhead on the basis of labor cost and materials cos
Cox Electric makes electronic components and has estimated the following for a new design of one of its products. Fixed cost = $23,750 • Material cost per unit = $0.17 • Labor cost per unit = $0.11 • Revenue per unit = $0.66 Note that fixed cost is incurred regardless of the amount produced. Per-unit material and labor cost together make up the variable cost per unit. Assuming that Cox Electric sells all that it produces, profit is calculated by subtracting the fixed cost and total variable cost from total revenue. Construct an appropriate spreadsheet model to find the profit based on a given production level and use the spreadsheet model to answer these questions. (a) Construct a one-way data table with production volume as the column input and profit as the output. Breakeven occurs when profit goes from a negative to a positive value; that is, breakeven is when total revenue = the total cost, yielding a profit of zero. Vary production volume from 0 to 100,000 in increments of 10,000.…
A company has two divisions, Division A and Division B.

Division A of SLG Company produces a part it sells to other companies. Sales and cost data for the part are as follows: Capacity in units 60,000 units Selling price per unit O $27 per unit O $39 per unit O $36 per unit O $41 per unit Variable cost per unit O None of the above. Fixed cost per unit at capacity Division B, another division of SLG Company, would like to buy this part from Division A. Division B is currently purchasing the part from an outside source at $38 per unit. If Division A sells to Division B, then $1 in Division A's variable costs can be avoided. Assume Division A has enough idle capacity to handle all of Division B's needs without any increase in fixed costs and without interfering with outside sales. According to the transfer pricing guidelines, what is the lowest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of Division A? $40 per unit $28 per unit $9 per unit
