and sells hinges to the Door Division and to outside customers. The Hinge Division has total costs of $33, $21 of which are variable. The Hinge Division is operating significantly below capacity and sells the hinges for $48. The Door Division has received an offer from an outsider vendor to supply all the hinges it needs (27,000 hinges) at a cost of $43. The manager of the Door Division is considering the offer but wants to approach the Hinge Division first. What is the minimum transfer price from the Hinge Division to the Door Division?

Answer:

Minimum transfer price = $21

Explanation:

<em>Transfer price is the price at which goods are exchange between branches or divisions of the same group</em>

<em>Where  a division is operating at the less than the existing capacity, to optimist the group profit, the minimum transfer price should be set as follows</em>

Minimum transfer price = Variable cost

Note that the fixed of $12 per unit (i.e 33-21) is irrelevant for this purpose, whether or not Hinges produces, it will be incurred either way.

It is worthy of note that there is no opportunity cost associated with any transfer to the Doors division because Hinges is currently having excess capacity.

Therefore, any offering price equal to or above the variable cost of $21 would be acceptable and optimize the group profit.

Hence, the minimum transfer price = $21

ozzi

Answer:

Actual overhead= $153,400

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

During the year the company's Finished Goods inventory account was debited for $360,000 and credited for $338,800. The ending balance in the Finished Goods inventory account was $36,600.

At the end of the year:

Manufacturing overhead was overapplied by $15,900.

If the applied manufacturing overhead was $169,300.

Because the manufacturing overhead was overapplied, we need to subtract from the applied overhead to determine the actual overhead.

Actual overhead= applied overhead - overapplied overhead

Actual overhead= 169300 - 15900= $153,400

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

C. lose money equal to its total fixed costs.

Explanation:

The revenue of a firm in a perfectly competitive market depends on the forces of demand and supply. If such a firm consistently operates at a loss in the short run, it means that its price is lower than its average variable costs or revenues are lower than its total costs. If it shuts down, it won't be incurring variable costs but only lose money equal to fixed costs making choice C correct.
