Question 2 Aston Electronics Corp. manufactures consumer electronic products in Canada. The variable and fixed production costs for producing each electronic circuit board is $280 and $65 respectively, and the company can sell its entire supply domestically for $440 each. The Canadian tax rate is 42%. Alternatively, Aston can ship the circuit boards to its division in Japan for further processing. Information about the Japanese product and the division's operating environment are below: Selling price of final product $950 Shipping fees to Japan $60 Additional variable costs $250 Import duties levied on circuit board (to be paid by the Japanese division) 8% of transfer price Japanese tax rate 35% Aston's management is exploring which transfer price more beneficial to the company as a whole. Assume that Canadian and Japanese tax authorities allow any transfer price suggested by Aston. Required: Show separate detailed calculations for the profit or loss (use the same format as you learned in class) that the Canadian and the Japanese divisions can make, if necessary, add diagrams to support your answers. (a) Assume that the transfer price is at full costs of Canadian division plus 15%. (b) Assume that there is no internal transfer between the Canadian and Japanese divisions. The Japanese division will obtain the circuit board in Japan for $390 and the Canadian division will sell the circuit board in the Canadian market. (c) If you were the head of the Japanese division, would you rather do business with the Canadian division or buy the circuit board locally in Japan? Why? Support your answer with all necessary calculations. (d) If you were the director in the headquarter of Aston, would you recommend option (a) or (b) above? Explain.
