Hrubec Products has just acquired a small company that manufactures paper cartons. This
company will be treated as a division of Hrubec with full profit responsibility. The newly formed
Carton Division is currently purchasing 5,000 tons of pulp per year from a supplier at a cost of $70
per ton, less a 10% purchase discount. Hrubec's president is anxious for the Carton Division to
begin purchasing its pulp from the Pulp Division if an acceptable transfer price can be worked out.
Required:
For (1) and (2) below, assume that the Pulp Division can sell all of its pulp to outside customers
for $70 per ton.

Exercise 11-10 Make or Buy Decision [L011-3]
Futura Company purchases the 50,000 starters that it installs in its standard line of farm tractors from a supplier for the price of $11.70
per unit. Due to a reduction in output, the company now has idle capacity that could be used to produce the starters rather than
buying them from an outside supplier. However, the company's chief engineer is opposed to making the starters because the
production cost per unit is $11.90 as shown below:

AIP 10.4 Allocating the Cost of Scrap LO 6
ITI Technology designs and manufactures solid-state computer chips. In one of its
production departments, a 6-inch circular wafer is fabricated by laying down successive
layers of silicon and then etching circuits into the layers. Each wafer contains 100
separate solid-state computer chips. After a wafer is manufactured, the 100 chips are
cut out of the wafer, initially tested, mounted into protective covers and electrical leads
attached. A final quality control test is then performed.
The initial testing process consists of successive stages of heating and cooling the chips
and testing how they work. If 99 percent of each chip's circuits work properly after the
testing, it is classified as a high-density (HD) chip. If between 75 percent and 99 percent
of a chip's circuits work properly, it is classified as a low-density (LD) chip. If fewer
than 75 percent of the circuits work, it is discarded. Twenty wafers are manufactured
495
per batch. In…

Revenues from the infiltrator division are $50 million a year, and production costs are $47.5 million. However, the 10 high-precision Munster stamping machines that are used in the production process are coming to the end of their useful life. One possibility is simply to replace each existing machine with a new Munster. These machines would cost $800,000 each and would not involve any additional operating costs. The alternative is to buy 10 centrally controlled Skilboro stampers. Skilboros cost $1.25 million each, but compared with the Munster, they would produce a total saving in operator and material costs of $500,000 a year. Moreover, the Skilboro is sturdily built and would last 10 years, compared with an estimated seven-year life for the Munster.

The Valve Division makes a single standardized valve. Two divisions, the Valve Division and the Installation Division, are currently involved in a transfer-pricing dispute. Last year, half of the Valve Division's output was sold to the Installation Division for £40 and the remaining half was sold to outsiders for £60. The existing transfer price of £40 per pump has been set through a negotiation process between the two divisions and also with the involvement of senior management. The Installation Division has received a bid from an outside valve manufacturer to supply it with an equivalent valve for £35 each. The manager of the Valve Division has argued that if it is forced to meet the external price of £35, it will lose money on internal sales.

- Helparrow_forwardD2.arrow_forwardhw6 q9 Federated Manufacturing Incorporated (FMI) produces electronic components in three divisions: industrial, commercial, and consumer products. The commercial products division annually purchases 10,600 units of part 23–6711, which the industrial division produces for use in manufacturing one of its own products. The commercial division is growing rapidly; it is expanding its production and now wants to increase its purchases of part 23–6711 to 15,600 units per year. The problem is that the industrial division is at full capacity. No new investment in the industrial division has been made for some years because top management sees little future growth in its products, so its capacity is unlikely to increase soon. The commercial division can buy part 23–6711 from Advanced Micro Incorporated or from Admiral Electric, a customer of the industrial division now purchasing 680 units of part 88–461.
