Selling price = p = 520
variable cost per unit = vc = 286
fixed cost = fc = 163,800.
unit sold = x
520 * x = 286 * x + 163,800
520x = 286x + 163,8000
520x - 286x = 163,800
234x = 163,800
x = 163,800 / 234 = 700 units to reach break even point.
unit contribution margin = p - vc = 520 - 286 = 234 per unit.
Answer:
Minimum Transfer Price is $3.50
Explanation:
The Minimum transfer price is calculated by adding the variable cost per unit with the opportunity cost. In this case where the clock division is not operating at full capacity then the opportunity cost would be considered as $0.
Moreover, the division would be able to avoid a $0.5 cost per clock. Therefore, the variable cost will be $3.50 ($4 - $0.5) after eliminating the $0.5.
Finally, the minimum transfer would as follows:
Minimum Transfer Price = Variable cost + Opportunity Cost
Minimum Transfer Price = $3.50 + $0
Minimum Transfer Price = $3.50
(d.) ECONOMIES OF SCALE
Economies of scale is achieved when the average goods and services decrease whereas the volume of the goods and services increases.
Diseconomies of scale is achieved when the average unit cost of goods and services increases with the increase in the volume of goods and services.
