Determining Market-Based and Negotiated Transfer Prices

Clanahan, Inc., has a number of divisions around the world. Division US (in the United States) purchases a component from Division N (in the Netherlands). The component can be purchased externally for $24.60 each. The freight and insurance on the item amount to $2.65; however, commissions of $2.95 need not be paid.

Round your answers to the nearest cent.

1. Calculate the transfer price using the comparable uncontrolled price method. $ fill in the blank 1per unit

2. Suppose that there is no outside market for the component that Division N transfers to Division US. Further assume that Division US sells the component for $28.60 and normally receives a 30 percent markup on cost of goods sold. Calculate the transfer price using the resale price method. $ fill in the blank 2per unit

3. Now assume that there is no external market for the component transferred from Division N to Division US, and that the component is used in the manufacture of another product (i.e., it is not resold). Calculate the transfer price using the cost-plus method. Further assume that Division Ns manufacturing cost for the component is $18.00. $ fill in the blank 3per unit

4. What if commissions avoided were $3.20 per unit?

What would be the comparable uncontrolled price? $ fill in the blank 4per unit
