(1)

Minimum Transfer Price

0.80 (variable cost)

Maximum Transfer Price

1.60 (market price)

(2) Total Benefit to compant if widget get transfer between two divisions :-

Units transfer = 75000

Benefit = (1.60 – 0.80) * 75000 = 60000

(3) If TP is 0.80 :-

Division A Profit

Division B Saving

(1.60 – 0.80)

0.80 per unit

(4) If TP is 1.60 :-

Division A Profit

(1.60 – 0.80)

0.80 per unit

Division B Saving

(5) Transfer Price Recommend:-

There is a TP range

1.60 > TP > 0.80

We recommend TP should be in between this range i.e 1.20
