Transfer Pricing: Various Computations
Corning Company has a decentralized organization with a divisional structure. Two of these divisions are the Appliance Division and the Manufactured Housing Division. Each divisional manager is evaluated on the basis of ROI.
The Appliance Division produces a small automatic dishwasher that the Manufactured Housing Division can use in one of its models. Appliance can produce up to 30,000 of these dishwashers per year. The variable costs of manufacturing the dishwashers are $100. The Manufactured Housing Division inserts the dishwasher into the model house and then sells the manufactured house to outside customers for $70,000 each. The division's capacity is 6,300 units. The variable costs of the manufactured house (in addition to the cost of the dishwasher itself) are $48,000.
Required:
Assume each part is independent, unless otherwise indicated.

can be sold to external customers for $326 each. The Manufactured
Housing Division wants to buy 6,300 dishwashers per year. What
should the transfer price be?
$ per unit
2. Refer to Requirement 1. Assume $18 of avoidable distribution costs. Identify the maximum and minimum transfer prices.
Maximum | $ per unit |

Identify the actual transfer price, assuming that negotiation
splits the difference.
$ per unit
3. Assume that the Appliance Division is
operating at 75 percent capacity. The Manufactured Housing Division
is currently buying 6,300 dishwashers from an outside supplier for
$294 each. Assume that any joint benefit will be split evenly
between the two divisions. What is the expected transfer
price?
$ per unit
How much will the profits of the Appliance Division increase,
assuming that it sells the extra 6,300 dishwashers
internally?
$
How much will the profits of the firm increase under this
arrangement?
