PLEASE SHOW STEP BY STEP
Problem 2) Europa Inc. has two divisions, Division-S and Division-B, that manufacture expensive bicycles. Division-S produces the bicycle frame, and Division-B assembles the rest of the bicycle onto the frame. There is a market for both the subassembly and the final product. Each division has been designated as a profit center. The transfer price for the subassembly has been set at the long-run average market price. The following data are available for each division.
Selling price for bicycle product $300 per unit
Long-run average selling price for frame in the market ..... $200 per unit
Incremental cost per unit for Division B $150 per unit
Incremental cost per unit in Division S.. $120 per unit
The manager of Division-B made the following calculation:
Selling price per bicycle.$300
Transferred-in cost per unit (market)..$200
Incremental cost per unit for completion..$150
Contribution Margin $(50)
Required)
1. Should transfers be made to Division-B if there is no unused capacity in Division-S? Is the market price the correct transfer price?
2. Assume that Division-Ss maximum capacity for this product is 1,000 units per month and sales to the intermediate market are now 800 units. That is, Division-S has 200 units of unused capacity.
2a.Should 200 units be transferred to Division-B? At what transfer price?
2b. What is the minimum transfer price Division-S will accept for 200 units? If Division-S agrees to transfer 200 units to Division-B at $120 transfer price, what is the total contribution margin to the company as a whole?
2c. What is the maximum transfer price Division-B will pay for the 200 units? What would be the contribution to the company as a whole if a transfer were made at the maximum price Division-B is willing to pay?
3. What is the minimum and maximum transfer for 300 units and the corresponding contribution margin for the company as a whole?
