APPLY THE CONCEPTS: Determining benefits of negotiated transfer price Assume that Selling Division and Buying Division are both owned by Overall Corporation. Selling Division sells a product that is used by Buying Division and outside customers. Selling Division has 27,000 units of excess capacity. Selling Division currently sells the product for $90 per unit and Buying Division currently buys 27,000 units of the product from an outside source for $90 per unit. Variable costs of the product are $18, of which $4.5 is the cost of selling the product to an outside customer.

Using Selling price less avoidable costs as the minimum price, fill in the following formula for the desired transfer price: $ < transfer price < $ . Using Variable costs as the minimum price, fill in the following formula for the desired transfer price: $. < transfer price < $ . Assume there are no avoidable costs with an internal sale (variable costs equal $18) and that Buying Division buys 27,000 units from Selling Division.
