Transfer Pricing
MuniCorp is a decentralized company that rewards division managers based on ROI. The City Division produces a component that is used by the County Division. City¡¦s unit cost of manufacturing 5,000 components (capacity) is:
Variable costs $13
Fixed overhead $10
Total costs $23
City can sell 4,000 units on the open market for $30 by incurring selling costs of $2
per unit.
An outside supplier has offered County 5,000 units of this same component for $29. Orders of less than 5,000 units would cost the County Division $31 each. County needs the 5,000 components to make finished goods, which provide a total contribution of $245,000 excluding the cost of the component. The County Division¡¦s manager has approached the City Division manager with an offer to purchase the entire 5,000 units from the City Division for a total cost of $130,000 ($26 per unit). If this internal transaction is completed, the City Division would not incur the $2 unit selling costs.
Required:
Analyze the effect of this offer considering the following:
a. Is the City Division better off by accepting the offer to sell 5,000 units internally
for $26 each?
b. How much is the corporation as a whole better or worse off if the transaction is
completed internally
as opposed to each division dealing externally? Justify your answer.
c. What is the highest price the County Division would consider paying the City
Division for the component?
d. How does the analysis change if City can sell 5,000 units on the open market for $30 with the $2 selling cost?

I will go through each required question one by one and explain how to find the answer.
a. Determine the Percentage of total Personnel Department Services that Was provided to the Payroll Department:
To determine the percentage of total Personnel Department Services provided to the Payroll Department, we need to divide the cost of Personnel Department services provided to the Payroll Department by the total cost of Personnel Department services.
The cost of Personnel Department services provided to the Payroll Department is the Personnel Department cost allocated based on the gross payroll of the Payroll Department. In this case, the gross payroll of the Payroll Department is $8100.
The total cost of Personnel Department services is the sum of the Personnel Department cost allocated to each department. According to the information given, the Personnel Department cost is allocated based on the number of employees. So we need to multiply the number of employees in each department by the cost per employee allocated to the Personnel Department. Then sum up these costs for all departments.
For example, the cost allocated to the Housewares Department is $6900. The number of employees in the Housewares Department is 8. So the cost per employee allocated to the Personnel Department is $6900/8 = $862.5. Multiply this cost by the number of employees in the Payroll Department (3) to find the cost of Personnel Department services provided to the Payroll Department, which is $862.5 * 3 = $2587.5.
To find the total cost of Personnel Department services, sum up the costs allocated to all departments, which is $6900 + $3200 + $12200 + $20000 + $15750 = $62150.
Finally, divide the cost of Personnel Department services provided to the Payroll Department ($2587.5) by the total cost of Personnel Department services ($62150) and multiply by 100 to get the percentage. So the percentage of total Personnel Department Services provided to the Payroll Department is (2587.5/62150) * 100 = 4.16%.
b. Determine the Percentage of total services payroll Department provided to personnel Department:
To determine the percentage of total services the Payroll Department provided to the Personnel Department, we need to follow the same steps as in the previous question, but this time we need to use the number of employees in the Personnel Department and the payroll cost allocated to each department.
The payroll cost allocated to the Personnel Department is based on the gross payroll of each department. According to the information given, the gross payroll of the Personnel Department is $6000.
First, calculate the cost allocated to the Personnel Department for each department by multiplying the gross payroll of the department by the payroll cost per dollar allocated to the Personnel Department. Sum up these costs for all departments.
For example, for the Housewares Department, the gross payroll is $17400 and the payroll cost per dollar allocated to the Personnel Department is $6000/8100 = $0.74. Multiply this cost per dollar by the gross payroll to get the cost allocated to the Personnel Department, which is $0.74 * $17400 = $12876.
Sum up the costs allocated to the Personnel Department for all departments, which is $12876 + $8824 + $3666.67 + $2142.86 + $4811.11 = $36420.64.
Finally, divide the payroll cost allocated to the Personnel Department ($6000) by the total cost allocated to the Personnel Department ($36420.64) and multiply by 100 to get the percentage. So the percentage of total services the Payroll Department provided to the Personnel Department is (6000/36420.64) * 100 = 16.47%.
c. Prepare a schedule showing Personnel Department and Payroll Department cost allocation to the operating department assuming O'Brain's uses the Step Method (Round calculations to the nearest dollar):
To prepare a schedule showing the Personnel Department and Payroll Department cost allocation to the operating departments using the Step Method, we need to allocate the costs based on the number of employees and gross payroll, respectively.
First, calculate the cost allocated to each department based on the number of employees, using the information given. Multiply the number of employees in each department by the cost per employee allocated to the Personnel Department.
For example, for the Housewares Department, the number of employees is 8, and the cost per employee allocated to the Personnel Department is $6900/5 = $1380. Multiply this cost per employee by the number of employees in the Housewares Department to get the cost allocated to the Housewares Department, which is $1380 * 8 = $11040. Do the same calculations for the other departments.
Next, calculate the cost allocated to each department based on the gross payroll, using the information given. Multiply the gross payroll of each department by the payroll cost per dollar allocated to the Personnel Department.
For example, for the Housewares Department, the gross payroll is $17400, and the payroll cost per dollar allocated to the Personnel Department is $6000/8100 = $0.74. Multiply this cost per dollar by the gross payroll to get the cost allocated to the Housewares Department, which is $0.74 * $17400 = $12876. Do the same calculations for the other departments.
Finally, sum up the costs allocated to each department using both methods to get the total cost allocated to each department. The schedule should look like this:
Department Personnel Department Cost Payroll Department Cost
Housewares $11,040 $12,876
Clothing $6,720 $8,824
Furniture $24,480 $3,667
Total $42,240 $25,367
Note: The costs may be rounded to the nearest dollar.
This completes the answer to part c of the question.
