True/False
1. Contribution margin and segment margin mean the same thing.
F
Medium
2. Assuming that a segment has both variable expenses and traceable fixed

112. (Appendix) Larinore Corporation has a Castings Division which does
Hard casting work of various types. The company's Machine Products Division
has asked the Castings Division to provide it with 20,000 special
castings each year on a continuing basis. The special casting would
require $10 per unit in variable production costs. The Machine
Products Division has a bid from an outside supplier for the castings
of $29 per unit.
In order to have time and space to produce the new casting, the
Castings Division would have to cut back production of another casting
the RB4 which it presently is producing. The RB4 sells for $30 per
unit, and requires $12 per unit in variable production costs. Boxing
and shipping costs of the RB4 are $4 per unit. Boxing and shipping
costs for the new special casting would be only $1 per unit. The
company is now producing and selling 100,000 units of the RB4 each
year. Production and sales of this casting would drop by 20% if the
new casting is produced.
Required:
a. What is the range of transfer prices within which both the
Divisions' profits would increase as a result of agreeing to the
transfer of 20,000 castings per year from the Castings Division
to the Machine Products Division?
b. Is it in the best interests of Larinore Corporation for this
transfer to take place? Explain.
Answer:
a. From the perspective of the Castings Division, profits would
increase as a result of the transfer providing that:
Transfer price > Variable cost + Opportunity cost
The opportunity cost is the contribution margin on the lost
sales, divided by the number of units transferred:
Opportunity cost = [($30 $12 $4) x 20,000]/20,000 = $16
Therefore,
Transfer price > ($10 + $1) + $16 = $27
From the viewpoint of the purchasing division, the transfer
price must be less than the cost of buying the units from the
outside supplier.
Transfer price < $29
Combining the two requirements, we get the following range of
transfer prices:
$27 < Transfer price < $29
b. Yes, the transfer should take place. From the viewpoint of the
entire company, the cost of transferring the units within the
company is $27, but the cost of purchasing them from the outside
supplier is $29. Therefore, the company's profits increase by $2
for each of the castings that is used within the company rather than
being sold on the outside market.
113. (Appendix) Geneva Corporation has a Castings Division that does
Hard casting work of various types. The company's Machine Products Division
has asked the Castings Division to provide it with 10,000 special
castings each year on a continuing basis. The special casting would
require $20 per unit in variable production costs. The Machine
Products Division has a bid from an outside supplier for the castings
of $30 per unit.
In order to have time and space to produce the new casting, the
Castings Division would have to cut back production of another casting
the NW2 which it presently is producing. The NW2 sells for $40 per
unit, and requires $25 per unit in variable production costs. Boxing
and shipping costs of the NW2 are $4 per unit. Boxing and shipping
costs for the new special casting would be only $2 per unit. The
company is now producing and selling 100,000 units of the NW2 each
year. Production and sales of this casting would drop by 10% if the
new casting were produced.
Required:
a. What is the range of transfer prices, if any, within which both
the Divisions' profits would increase as a result of agreeing to the
transfer of 10,000 castings per year from the Castings Division to
the Machine Products Division?
b. Is it in the best interests of Geneva Corporation for this
transfer to take place? Explain.
Answer:
a. From the perspective of the Castings Division, profits would
increase as a result of the transfer providing that:
Transfer price > Variable cost + Opportunity cost
The opportunity cost is the contribution margin on the lost
ales, divided by the number of units transferred:
Opportunity cost = [($40 $25 $4) x 10,000]/10,000 = $11
Therefore,
Transfer price > ($20 + $2) + $11 = $33
From the viewpoint of the purchasing division, the transfer
price must be less than the cost of buying the units from the
outside supplier.
Transfer price < $30
Combining the two requirements, we find that no feasible
range of transfer prices exists under current conditions.
b. No, the transfer should not take place. From the viewpoint of
the entire company, the cost of transferring the units within the
company is $33, but the cost of purchasing them from the outside
