Beacon, a division of Libra Corporation, is located in the United States. Its effective income tax rate is 30%. Another division of Libra, Falcon, is located in Canada, where the income tax rate is 40%. Falcon manufactures, among other things, an intermediate product for Beacon called XPS-2022. Falcon operates at capacity and makes 15,000 units of XPS-2022 for Beacon each period, at a variable cost of $28 per unit. Assume that there are no outside customers for XPS-2022. Because the XPS-2022 must be shipped from Canada to the United States, it costs Falcon an additional $4 per unit to ship the XPS-2022 to Beacon. There are no direct fixed costs for XPS-2022. Falcon also manufactures other products. A product similar to XPS-2022 that Beacon could use as a substitute is available in the United States for $38.50 per unit.
Q. What is the minimum and maximum transfer price that would be acceptable to Beacon and Falcon for XPS-2022, and why?

French income tax rate on the French division’s operating income 45%
French import duty 20%
Variable manufacturing cost per chainsaw $100
Full manufacturing cost per chainsaw $175
Selling price (net of marketing and distribution costs) in France $300
Suppose the United States and French tax authorities only allow transfer prices that are between the full manufacturing cost per unit of $175 and a market price of $250, based on comparable imports into France. The French import duty is charged on the price at which the product is transferred into France. Any import duty paid to the French authorities is a deductible expense for calculating French income…
