Fillmore Industries is a vertically integrated firm with several divisions that operate as decentralized profit centers. Fillmor

e's Systems Division manufactures scientific instruments and uses the products of two of Fillmore's other divisions. The Board Division manufactures printed circuit boards (PCBs). One PCB model is made exclusively for the Systems Division using proprietary designs, while less complex models are sold in outside markets. The products of the Transistor Division are sold in a well-developed competitive market; however, one transistor model is also used by the Systems Division. The costs per unit of the products used by the Systems Division are as follows:
PCB Transistor
Direct materials 1,85 0,40
Direct labor 4,20 0,90
Variable overhead 2,40 0,70
Fixed overhead 0,85 0,75
Total Cost 9,30 2,75
The Board Division sells its commercial product at full cost plus a 30 percent markup and believes the proprietary board made for the Systems Division would sell for $12 per unit on the open market. The market price of the transistor used by the Systems Division is $3.45 per unit.
Required:
1. What is the minimum transfer price for the Transistor Division? What is the maximum transfer price of the transistor for the Systems Division?
2. Assume the Systems Division is able to purchase a large quantity of
transistors from an outside source at $2.75 per unit. Further assume that the Transistor Division has excess capacity. Can the Transistor Division meet this price?
3. The Board and Systems divisions have negotiated a transfer price of $11 per printed circuit board. Discuss the impact this transfer price will have on each division.

Answer:

Fillmore Industries

Fillmore's Systems Division

1. Minimum and Maximum Transfer Prices:

                                PCB      Transistor

Minimum transfer

price                  $12.00      $3.45

Maximum transfer

price                  $12.09      $3.58

2. Yes. The Transistor Division can meet this price.  It can sell at $2.60 (Variable cost plus markup) by eliminating the fixed cost, which is not a relevant cost.

3. A transfer price of $11 reduces the profitability of the Transistor Division while it increases the profitability of the other division.  The transfer price should be a market-competitively determined price to encourage efficiency in the divisions.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                PCB      Transistor

Direct materials      1,85          0,40

Direct labor            4,20          0,90

Variable overhead 2,40          0,70

Fixed overhead     0,85          0,75

Total Cost              9,30          2,75

Marked up Price $12.09      $3.58

Minimum transfer

price                  $12.00      $3.45

Maximum transfer

price                  $12.09      $3.58

Market price       $12.00     $3.45

An alternative form of the accounting equation is:_______.
lana [24]

Answer:

d. Assets - Liabilities = Stockholders' Equity.

Explanation:

The principle of double entry booking rests upon the accounting equation.  the accounting equation states that (where correct and accurate accounting books are kept), the total asset of a corporation must equal the addition of the corporation's total liabilities and Stockholders' equity.

The following is the basic formula for accounting equation

                                   Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' equity

Rearranging the above basic equation, we have the  alternative form of the accounting equation.

                                    Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' equity

Subtract Stockholders' equity from both sides of the equation

Assets - Stockholders' equity = Liabilities + Stockholders' equity -  

                                                     Stockholders' equity

                  Assets - Liabilities =  Stockholders' equity

Answer:

a

Explanation:

A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.

A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.

Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible
