Question

Decision on Transfer Pricing Materials used by the Instrument Division of XPort Industries are currently purchased from outside suppliers at a cost of $185 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 $154 per unit. a. If a transfer price of $168 per unit is established and 33,200 units of materials are transferred, with no reduction in the Components Division's current sales, how much would XPort Industries’ total income from operations increase?

Answer 1

$1,029,200

Explanation:

The computation of net income increases is shown below:-

Market purchase cost = 33,200 × $185

= $6,142,000

Component division variable cost = 33,200 × $154

= $5,112,800

Net income increases = $6,142,000 - $5,112,800

= $1,029,200

hence, the net income would be increased by $1,029,000 and the same is to be considered
