Answer to Problem 11A.1E
Lowest acceptable transfer price is $42 and highest acceptable transfer price is $57.
Explanation of Solution
- Transfer price for lowest acceptable price.
- Transfer price for highest acceptable price:
- By combining the requirements of selling division and buying division the acceptable transfer price will be $42 if 5,000 speakers are sold. Managers understand their own businesses so they will be ready to accept this transfer price.
- If seen from the standpoint of the company the transfer should take place. By combining the requirements of selling division and buying division the acceptable transfer price will be $42 if 5,000 speakers are sold. Company sold speakers for $42 than selling them at $57 that is the market price.
If company can buy the speakers from outside supplier for $57 then the transfer price for highest acceptable price will be $57. So it is acceptable for the company to pay the price that is the market price.

Answer to Problem 11A.1E
Lowest acceptable transfer price is $60 and highest acceptable transfer price is $57.
Explanation of Solution
- Transfer price for lowest acceptable price.

By combining the requirements of selling division and buying division in the acceptable transfer price, selling division should have $60 and buying division should not pay more than $57. Here company saves $3 by giving up revenues of $60 and saving the $57.
Company will not be ready to pay more than $57 per speaker as it will be costly for the company for buy it.

- Exercise 15-27 (Algo) Evaluate Transfer Pricing System (LO 15-2) Lola Metals has two decentralized divisions, Stamping and Finishing. Finishing always has purchased certain units from Stamping at $48 per unit. Stamping plans to raise the price to $60 per unit, the price it receives from outside customers. As a result, Finishing is considering buying these units from outside suppliers for $48 per unit. Corporate policy allows division managers to choose both customers and suppliers regardless of the transfer price. Stamping's costs follow: Variable costs per unit Annual fixed costs Annual production of these units sold to Alpha Required: a. If Finishing buys from an outside supplier, the facilities that Stamping uses to produce these units will remain idle.
