The Sunrise Mattress Company uses transfer pricing for all work in process transfers between its divisions. Senior management believes that the transfer price is an important tool to motivate appropriate behaviour and believes that each division should negotiate its prices when a transfer takes place. To make the mattresses that the company sells, the Spring Division buys processed cloth padding from an outside supplier.
