Answer to Problem 11A.1E
Lowest acceptable transfer price is $42 and highest acceptable transfer price is $57.
Explanation of Solution
- Transfer price for lowest acceptable price.
- Transfer price for highest acceptable price:
- By combining the requirements of selling division and buying division the acceptable transfer price will be $42 if 5,000 speakers are sold. Managers understand their own businesses so they will be ready to accept this transfer price.
- If seen from the standpoint of the company the transfer should take place. By combining the requirements of selling division and buying division the acceptable transfer price will be $42 if 5,000 speakers are sold. Company sold speakers for $42 than selling them at $57 that is the market price.
If company can buy the speakers from outside supplier for $57 then the transfer price for highest acceptable price will be $57. So it is acceptable for the company to pay the price that is the market price.

- Current Attempt in Progress The fastener division of Southern Fasteners manufactures zippers and then sells them to customers for $7.80 per unit. Its variable cost is $2.97 per unit, and its fixed cost per unit is $1.55. Management would like the fastener division to transfer 11,200 of these zippers to another division within the company at a price of $2.97. The fastener division could avoid $0.43 per zipper of variable packaging costs by selling internally. Determine the minimum transfer price.
