Question

Materials used by Jefferson Company in producing Division C's product are currently purchased from outside suppliers at a cost of $10.00 per unit. However, the same materials are available with Division A. Division A has unused capacity and can produce the materials needed by Division C at a variable cost of $8.50 per unit. A transfer price of $9.50 per unit is negotiated and 25,000 units of material are transferred, with no reduction in Division A's current sales. How much will Division A's income from operations increase? a. $50,000 b. $25,000 c. $0 d. $75,000

Answer 1

Answer:

b.25,000

Explanation:

Saving cost per unit = Transfer price per unit - variable cost per unit

                                 = $9.50 - $8.50

                                 = $1.00 per unit

Thus, saving cost per unit is $1.00 per unit

Now multiply this saving cost per unit with transferred units to interpret how much amount is increased

= $1.00 × 25,000 units

= $25,000

The supplier cost is irrelevant for computation.
