Question

The Heating Division of Kobe International produces a heating element that it sells to its customers for $40 per unit. Its variable cost per unit is $20, and its fixed cost per unit is $8. Top management of Kobe International would like the Heating Division to transfer 14,500 heating units to another division within the company at a price of $30. The Heating Division is operating at full capacity. Assume that the units being requested are special high-performance units and that the division's variable cost would be $28 per unit (rather than $20). What is the minimum transfer price that the Heating Division should accept

Answer 1

$48

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation the minimum transfer price that the Heating Division should accept

Using this formula

Minimum transfer price=[New UVC + (Lost USP - Regular UVC)]

Let plug in the formula

Minimum transfer price=$28+ ($40- $20)

Minimum transfer price=$28+20

Minimum transfer price= $48

Therefore the minimum transfer price that the Heating Division should accept is $48
