Fillmore Industries is a vertically integrated firm with several divisions that operate as decentralized profit centers. Fillmore's Systems Division manufactures scientific instruments and uses the products of two of Fillmore's other divisions. The Board Division manufactures printed circuit boards (PCBs). One PCB model is made exclusively for the Systems Division using proprietary designs, while less complex models are sold in outside markets. The products of the Transistor Division are sold in a well-developed competitive market; however, one transistor model is also used by the Systems Division. The costs per unit of the products used by the Systems Division are as follows:
PCB Transistor
Direct materials 1,85 0,40
Direct labor 4,20 0,90

Code Incorporated has three divisions (Entertainment, Plastics, and Video Card), each of which is considered an investment center for performance evaluation purposes. The Entertainment Division manufactures video arcade equipment using products produced by the other two divisions, as follows:
1. The Entertainment Division purchases plastic components from the Plastics Division that are considered unique (i.e., they are made exclusively for the Entertainment Division). In addition, the Plastics Division makes less-complex plastic components that it sells externally, to other producers.
2. The Entertainment Division purchases, for each unit it produces, a video card from Code's Video Card Division, which also sells this video card externally (to other producers). The per-unit manufacturing costs associated with each of the above two items, as incurred by the Plastic Components Division and the Video Card Division, respectively, are:

Lansing Electronics Inc. manufactures a variety of printers, scanners, and fax machines in itstwo divisions: the PSF Division and the Components Division. The Components Division produces electronic components that can be used by the PSF Division. All the components thisdivision produces can be sold to outside customers. However, from the beginning, nearly allof its output has been used internally. The current policy requires that all internal transfers ofcomponents be transferred at full cost.Recently, Cam DeVonn, the chief executive officer of Lansing Electronics, decided to investigate the transfer pricing policy. He was concerned that the current method of pricing internaltransfers might force decisions by divisional managers that would be suboptimal for the firm. Aspart of his inquiry, he gathered some information concerning Component Y34, which is usedby the PSF Division in its production of a basic scanner, Model SC67.The PSF Division sells 40,000 units of Model SC67 each year…

- The Mega Supply Corporation has three divisions: Commercial Products, Consumer Products, and Corporate Offices, which are located in Hatfield, South Carolina; Palo Alto, California; and Tulsa, Oklahoma, respectively. The Commercial Products division deals exclusively in sales of industrial products and supplies to business organizations. The Consumer Products division sells nonindustrial products to private consumers. Both divisions have dedicated inventory warehouses at their respective locations in Hatfield and Palo Alto. Because of the dissimilar nature of the commercial and consumer division product lines, they do not share customers or vendors. Currently Mega Supply uses a centralized database, which is located at their Corporate Division in Tulsa. Some relevant database tables and attributes are presented in the figure designated Problem 1. When customers contact their respective sales division, the sales clerk logs into the corporate database, checks credit, determines product availability, and creates a sales invoice. The corporate office typically bills the customer within 3 or 4 days and extends terms of net 30. Inventory control, AR processing, cash receipts, purchases from vendors and AP processing, and cash disbursements are performed by the corporate office. Due to Megas rapid growth, the company has seen a significant increase in sales and purchase transactions, which has resulted in excessive delays in processing transactions from the central database. Since customer service, including rapid response to customer inquiries and sales order processing, is a cornerstone of Megas business model, these delays are unacceptable. Required Mega wants to improve response time by distributing some parts of the corporate database while keeping other parts of it centralized. (A) Develop a schema for distributing Mega Supply Corporations database. Add new tables and attributes as needed but limit the schema to the tables needed to support sales, cash receipts, purchases/AP, and cash disbursements. In your schema, indicate whether tables are centralized, replicated, or partitioned. (B) Explain how the new system will operate.arrow_forwardXYZ is a large multinational company that is structured into six divisions. Many of the divisions trade with each other, usually providing intermediate components that are then used in the manufacture of final products in the other division. The senior management of XYZ has a policy of using dual-rate transfer prices for all inter- divisional transactions (where the supplying division receives the full cost plus a mark-up on each transaction and the receiving division is charged at the variable cost of the transfers. However, a number of concerns have been expressed about the policy including the following; (i) The use of different transfer prices can cause confusion between divisions (ii) Different transfer prices can increase divisional incentives to compete effectively (iii) Different transfer prices can lead to the double counting of internal profits Which of the above claims made about dual-rate transfer prices is/are incorrect? a.
