Question

Nelson Company's Radio Division currently is purchasing transistors from Charlotte Co. for $3.50 each. The total number of transistors needed is 8,000 per month. Nelson Company's Electronics Division can produce the transistors for a cost of $4.00 each, and it has plenty of capacity to manufacture the units. The $4.00 is made up of $3.25 in variable costs, and $0.75 in allocated fixed costs. The range of a possible transfer price should be

Answer 1

Answer:

The range of possible transfer is $ 3.25 to $ 3.50

Explanation:

Data provided:

The purchasing cost of the transistor = $ 3.50

The total number of transistors needed = 8,000

The production cost of the transistor = $ 4.00

The included variable cost = $ 3.25

The included fixed cost = $ 0.75

Now,

the fixed cost cannot be altered, thus it will be there

hence,

the variable cost will be the factor that will evaluate the decision i.e $ 3.25

therefore, the range of possible transfer is $ 3.25 to $ 3.50
