Year

Price of Apples

Price of Oranges

2017

$2.0 per pound (Apples)

$2.00 per pound (Oranges)

2018

$1.5 per pound (Apples)

$3.00 per pound (Oranges

Consumer price index is obtained using the formular :

CPI = (Cost of market basket In current period / Cost of market basket in base period) * 100

Current period (2018):

Cost of 10 pounds of apple and 20 pounds of oranges :

($1.5 * 10) + ($3 * 20) = $15 + $60 = $75

Base year (2017)

Cost of 10 pounds of apple and 20 pounds of oranges :

($2 * 10) + ($2 * 20) = $20 + $40 = $60

Hence,

CPI = ($75 / $60) * 100

CPI = 1.25 * 100

CPI = 125

liq [111]

Answer:

b. $35

c. If the transferring division does not have excess capacity,this would mean that some units that could have been sold externally would be transferred internally and this creates an opportunity cost. Opportunity costs increase the transfer price.However no opportunity cost exist if transferring division has excess capacity and hence a lower transfer price.

Explanation:

The minimum acceptable price is the price that is acceptable to the transferring division and out of a range of acceptable prices, it is that which would be the best for the company.

When there is excess capacity.

Note : No opportunity costs would exist.

Minimum acceptable price = Variable Cost - Internal Savings + Opportunity Cost

= $11

When there is excess capacity.

Note : Opportunity costs would exist.

Minimum acceptable price = Variable Cost - Internal Savings + Opportunity Cost

= $11 + ($35 - $11 )

= $35

Why Capacity of transferring division (Small Motor Division) has an effect on the transfer price.

If the transferring division does not have excess capacity,this would mean that some units that could have been sold externally would be transferred internally and this creates an opportunity cost. Opportunity costs increase the transfer price.However no opportunity cost exist if transferring division has excess capacity and hence a lower transfer price.
