Chapter 22, Problem 22.25E
Transfer-pricing problem (continuation of 22-24). Refer to Exercise 22-24. Assume that division A can sell the 1,900 units to other customers at $137 per unit, with variable marketing cost of $2 per unit.
Required
Determine whether Kelly-Elias will benefit if division C purchases the 1,900 units from external suppliers at $115 per unit. Show your computations.
22-24 Transfer-pricing dispute. The Kelly-Elias Corporation, manufacturer of tractors and other heavy farm equipment, is organized along decentralized product lines, with each manufacturing division operating as a separate profit center. Each division manager has been delegated full authority on all decisions involving the sale of that division’s output both to outsiders and to other divisions of Kelly-Elias. Division C has in the past always purchased its requirement of a particular tractor-engine component from division A. However, when informed that division A is increasing its selling price to $135, division C’s manager decides to purchase the engine component from external suppliers.
Division C can purchase the component for $115 per unit in the open market. Division A insists that, because of the recent installation of some highly specialized equipment and the resulting high
| C’s annual purchases of the tractor-engine component | 1,900 units |
| A’s variable cost per unit of the tractor-engine component | $ 105 |
| A’s fixed cost per unit of the tractor-engine component | $ 25 |
- A. Assume that there are no alternative uses for internal facilities of division A. Determine whether the company as a whole will benefit if division C purchases the component from external suppliers for $115 per unit. What should the transfer price for the component be set at so that division managers acting in their own divisions’ best interests take actions that are also in the best interest of the company as a whole?
Required
- B. Assume that internal facilities of division A would not otherwise be idle. By not producing the 1,900 units for division C, division A’s equipment and other facilities would be used for other production operations that would result in annual cash-operating savings of $22,800. Should division C purchase from external suppliers? Show your computations.
- C. Assume that there are no alternative uses for division A’s internal facilities and that the price from outsiders drops $15. Should division C purchase from external suppliers? What should the transfer price for the component be set at so that division managers acting in their own divisions’ best interests take actions that are also in the best interest of the company as a whole?

Quest Motors, Inc., operates as a decentralized multidivision company. The Vivo division of Quest Motors purchases most of its airbags from the airbag division. The airbag division’s incremental cost for manufacturing the airbags is $90 per unit. The airbag division is currently working at80% of capacity. The current market price of the airbags is $125 per unit.1. Using the general guideline presented in the chapter, what is the minimum price at which the airbag division would sellairbags to the Vivo division?2. Suppose that Quest Motors requires that whenever divisions with unused capacity sell products internally, they must doso at the incremental cost.

Jamal is an ambitious entrepreneur, and he is hoping to soon sell The Chilly Cone, which is a private company, to one of the larger competitors. The supplying division buys milk from local farmers for $11 per 10 gallons, and incurs $2 of variable costs per 10 gallons transported to the processing division (the supplying division doesn't incur any material fixed costs). The processing division could buy milk of the same high quality for $18 per 10 gallons on the outside market.

The SD can sell all its output to the outside market at a priceof $100 per screen, after incurring a variable marketing and distribution cost of $8 per screen. If the AD purchases screens from outside suppliers at a price of $100 per screen, it will incur a variable purchasing cost of $7 per screen.
