?A transfer pricing system was introduced, as PowerSD requires solar panels from SPanelD. Matla$$s

management implemented a transfer price equal to the SPanelD$$s external selling price less a $7,5\%$

discount. This has led to unhappiness and numerous debates between the Divisions.

PowerSD will save delivery costs amounting to R$10$ ?per panel and ordering cost of R$72$per panel by

receiving the panels from SPanelD rather than buying it from their external supplier at R$1890.$ ?

It is expected that SPanelD will provide PowerSD with $650$ ?solar panels per month. SPanelD has the

capacity to manufacture $16000$ ?panels per month and has an external demand of $9002$panels per month.

You obtained the following budget information about one solar panel from SPanelD:

Details R per panel

External selling price $2000$

Direct material $500$

Direct labour $1000$

Variable manufacturing overheads $80$

Applied fixed manufacturing overheads $65$

External variable selling costs

$4,1\%$ ?of the selling price $?$
