The Jason Corporation, manufacturer of tractors and other heavy farm equipment, is organized along decentralized product lines, with each manufacturing division operating as a separate profit centre. Each division manager has been delegated full authority on all decisions involving the sale of that division's output both to outsiders and to other divisions of Jason. (Click the icon to view the information on the divisions.) Requirement 1. Assume that there are no alternative uses for internal facilities of Division A. Determine whether the company as a whole will benefit if Division C purchases the component from external suppliers for $125 per unit. What should the transfer price for the component be set at so that division managers acting in their own divisions' best interests take actions that are in the best interest of the company as a whole? Begin by completing the table below to calculate the net cost (benefit) to the company as a whole. (Enter a net benefit using parentheses or a minus sign.) Less: Net cost (benefit) to company as a whole The company as a whole benefit if Division C purchases the component from external suppliers for $125 per unit. What should the transfer price for the component be set at so that division managers acting in their own divisions' best interests take actions that are in the best interest of the company as a whole? The transfer price should be set Requirement 2. Assume that internal facilities of Division A would not otherwise be idle. By not producing the 1,400 units for Division C, Division A's equipment and other facilities would be used for other production operations that would result in annual cash-operating savings of $14,000. Should Division C purchase from external suppliers? Show your computations. Begin by completing the table below to calculate the net cost (benefit) to the company as a whole. (Enter a net benefit using parentheses or a minus sign.) Less: Division C purchase the component from external suppliers for $125 per unit. Begin by completing the table below to calculate the net cost (benefit) to the company as a whole. (Enter a net benefit using parentheses or a minus sign.) Less: Net cost (benefit) to company as a whole In this scenario, Division C purchase the component from external suppliers. The transfer price should be set Division information Division C has, in the past, always purchased its requirement of a particular tractor-engine component from Division A. However, when informed that Division A is increasing its selling price to $140, Division C's manager decides to purchase the engine component from external suppliers. Division C can purchase the component for $125 per unit in the open market. Division A insists that because of the recent installation of some highly specialized equipment and the resulting high depreciation charges, it will not be able to earn an adequate return on its investment unless it raises its price. Division A's manager appeals to top management of Jason for support in the dispute with Division C and supplies the following operating data: C's annual purchase of the tractor-engine component 1,400 units A's variable cost per unit of the tractor-engine component $105 A's fixed cost per unit of the tractor-engine component $25
