(Appendix) Larinore Corporation has a Castings Division which does casting work of various types. The company's Machine Products Division has asked the Castings Division to provide it with 20,000 special castings each year on a continuing basis. The special casting would require $10 per unit in variable production costs. The Machine Products Division has a bid from an outside supplier for the castings of $29 per unit. In order to have time and space to produce the new casting, the Castings Division would have to cut back production of another casting the RB4 which it presently is producing. The RB4 sells for $30 per unit, and requires $12 per unit in variable production costs. Boxing and shipping costs of the RB4 are $4 per unit. Boxing and shipping costs for the new special casting would be only $1 per unit. The company is now producing and selling 100,000 units of the RB4 each year. Production and sales of this casting would drop by 20% if the new casting is produced. Required: a. What is the range of transfer prices within which both the Divisions' profits would increase as a result of agreeing to the transfer of 20,000 castings per year from the Castings Division to the Machine Products Division? b. Is it in the best interests of Larinore Corporation for this transfer to take place? Explain. Answer: a. From the perspective of the Castings Division, profits would increase as a result of the transfer providing that: Transfer price > Variable cost + Opportunity cost The opportunity cost is the contribution margin on the lost sales, divided by the number of units transferred: Opportunity cost = [($30 $12 $4) x 20,000]/20,000 = $16 Therefore, Transfer price > ($10 + $1) + $16 = $27 From the viewpoint of the purchasing division, the transfer price must be less than the cost of buying the units from outside supplier.
