price?___________________
9.In many situations, a general guideline formula has proven to be a

___________________________
Multiple Choice
1.(CMA adapted) Which of the following is decentralization least likely
to accomplish?
a.Provide a pool of management talent
b.Shorten decision time
c.Heighten goal congruence
d.Increase motivation of subunit managers
2.(CPA) Brent Co. has intracompany service transfers from Division
Core, a cost center, to Division Pro, a profit center. Under stable
economic conditions, which of the following transfer prices is likely to
be most conducive to evaluating whether both divisions have met their
responsibilities?
a.Actual cost
b.Standard variable cost
c.Actual cost plus a markup
d.Negotiated price

12. 3.Designing the transfer-pricing system is most difficult in organizations
that are:
a.Highly decentralized with many interdependencies among subunits

d.Highly centralized with few interdependencies among subunits
4.(CMA) Parkside Inc. has several divisions that operate as
decentralized profit centers. Parkside’s Entertainment Division
manufactures video arcade equipment using the products of two of
Parkside’s other divisions. The Plastics Division manufactures plastic
components; one type is made exclusively for the Entertainment
Division, while other less complex components are sold to external
markets. The products of the Video Cards Division are sold in a
competitive market, but one video card model is also used by the
Entertainment Division. The actual manufacturing cost per unit of the
Entertainment Division is as follows:
Plastics Components
Video Cards
Direct materials used
$1.25
$2.40
Direct manufacturing labor
2.35
3.00
Variable overhead
1.00
1.50
Fixed overhead
0.40
2.25
Total cost per unit
$5.00
$9.15

13. The Plastics Division sells its commercial products at full cost plus a
25% markup based on cost and believes the proprietary plastic
component made for the Entertainment Division would sell for $6.25 per
unit on the open market. The market price of the video card used by the

Assuming the Video Cards Division has no unused capacity, a transfer
price to the Entertainment Division of $9.15 per unit will:
a.Allow evaluation of both divisions on a competitive basis

of opportunity costs

Division is able to purchase a large quantity of video cards from an
external supplier at $8.70 per unit. The Video Cards Division, having
unused capacity, agrees to lower the transfer price to $8.70 per unit. This
action will:
a.Optimize the profit goals of the Entertainment Division while
subverting the profit goals of Parkside Inc.
b.Provide no profit incentive for the Video Cards Division.
c.Subvert the profit goals of the Video Cards Division while optimizing
the profit goals of the Entertainment Division.
d.cause mediocre performance in the Video Cards Division because
opportunity costs increase
e.Optimize the overall profit goals of Parkside Inc.
6.Use the information in question 4 and assume the Plastics Division has
unused capacity and negotiates a transfer price of $5.60 per plastic
component with the Entertainment Division. This price will:
a.Cause the Plastics Division to reduce the number of commercial plastic
components it manufactures.
b.Motivate both divisions

14. c.Encourage the Entertainment Division to seek an external supplier for
plastic components
d.Not motivate the Plastics Division, causing mediocre performance.
e.satisfy the Plastics Division’s profit desire by allowing recovery of
opportunity costs
7.(CPA adapted) Mar Company has two decentralized divisions, X and
Y. Division X has been purchasing certain component parts from
Division Y at $75 per unit. Because Division Y plans to raise the price to

suppliers for $75 per unit. The following information is available:
Y`s variable cost per unit
$70
Y`s annual fixed costs
$15,000
Y`s annual production of these parts for X
1,000 units
If Division X buys from an external supplier, the facilities Division Y
uses to manufacture these parts will be idle. Assuming g Division Y’s
fixed costs cannot be avoided, what is the result if Mar requires Division
X to buy from Division Y at a transfer price of $100 per unit?
