Company E has two divisions, Division A and Division B. Division A is currently
buying Component X from an external seller for $12. Division B produces
Component X and has excess capacity.
Using the following data, what would the transfer price per unit if Division A
purchased Component X from Division B at the market-based transfer price?
• Variable cost per unit $10
• Fixed cost per unit 1.16
• Division B sales price of Component X 14.50
Materials used by Angela Bread Company in producing Division A's product are currently purchased from outside suppliers at a cost of $30 per unit. However, the same materials are available from Division B. Division B has unused capacity and can produce the materials needed by Division A at a variable cost of $20 per unit.
1. Assuming transfer price of $25, how much would the income from operations of Division B increase?
2. If the negotiated price approach is used, what would be the range of acceptable transfer prices?
