1 answer:
Answer:
1.Since there is spare capacity in the consumer division, the acceptable transfer prices are variable cost per unit - market price per unit
i.e. $104-$150
The transfer price should be set in between the two. However, $150 is an appropriate price
2. Income will increase as follows:
Consumer Division = (115-104)*2880 = $31,680
Commercial Division = (150-115)*2880 = $100,800
Company = $132,480
3) check the attached file
4.Income will increase as follows:
Consumer Division = (126-104)*2880 = $63,360
Commercial Division = (150-126)*2880 = $69,120
Company = $132,480
