- Determining transfer pricing The Harris Company is decentralized, and divisions are considered investment centers. Harris has one division that manufactures oak dining room chairs with upholstered seat cushions. The Chair Division cuts, assembles, and finishes the oak chairs and then purchases and attaches the seat cushions. The Chair Division currently purchases the cushions for $22 from an outside vendor. The Cushion Division manufactures upholstered seat cushions that are sold to customers outside the company. The Chair Division currently sells 800 chairs per quarter, and the Cushion Division is operating at capacity, which is 800 cushions per quarter. The two divisions report the following information: Requirements Determine the total contribution margin for Harris Company for the quarter. Assume the Chair Division purchases the 800 cushions needed from the Cushion Division at its current sales price. What is the total contribution margin for each division and the company?

Cran Health Products is a cranberry cooperative that operates two divisions, a harvesting division and a processing division. Currently, all of harvesting’soutput is converted into cranberry juice by the processing division, and the juice is sold to large beverage companies that produce cranberry juice blends. The processing division has a yield of 500 gallons of juice per 1,000 pounds of cranberries. Cost and market price data for the two divisions are as follows:arrow_forwardMaterials used by the Instrument Division of Ziegler Inc. are currently purchased from outside suppliers at a cost of 1,350 per unit. However, the same materials are available from the Components Division. The Components Division has unused capacity and can produce the materials needed by the Instrument Division at a variable cost of 900 per unit. a. If a transfer price of 1,000 per unit is established and 75,000 units of materials are transferred, with no reduction in the Components Divisions current sales, how much would Ziegler Inc.s total operating income increase? b. How much would the Instrument Divisions operating income increase? c. How much would the Components Divisions operating income increase?arrow_forward
- Assume you are the department B manager for Marleys Manufacturing. Marleys operates under a cost-based transfer structure. Assume you receive the majority of your raw materials from department A, which sells only o department B (they have no outside sales). After calculating the operating income in dollars and operating income in percentage, analyze the following financial information to determine costs that may need further investigation.

- Atascadero Industries operates a Manufacturing Division and a Marketing Division. Both divisions are evaluated as profit centers. Marketing buys products from Manufacturing and packages them for sale. Manufacturing sells many components to third parties in addition to Marketing. Selected data from the two operations follow.

- The Sunland Company is a multidivisional company. Its managers have full responsibility for profits and complete autonomy to accept or reject transfers from other divisions. Division A produces a sub-assembly part for which there is a competitive market. Division B currently uses this sub-assembly for a final product that is sold outside at $1,392. Division A charges Division B the market price of $812 per unit of the part. Unit variable costs are $604 and $696 for Divisions A and B, respectively. The manager of Division B feels that Division A should transfer the part at a lower price than market because at market, Division B is unable to make a profit. (a) Your answer has been saved.
