Q#1: Should transfers be made to division B if there is no unused capacity in division A? Is the market price the correct transfer price? Show your computations.
Q#2: Assume that division A’s maximum capacity for this product is 1,200 units per month and sales to the intermediate market are now 900 units. Should 300 units be transferred to division B? At what transfer price? Assume that for a variety of reasons, division A will maintain the $275 selling price indefinitely. That is, division A is not considering lowering the price to outsiders even if idle capacity exists.
