    Hi Dear Tutor, I have a question.

    A company has two divisions, A and B. Division A manufactures a component which is transferred to Division B. Division B uses two units of the component from DIVISION A in every item of finished product that it makes and sells. The transfer price is 43$ per unit of the component

    Selling price of finished product made in Division B—154$
    Variable cost excluding TPC——————————–32
    Variable selling costs chargeable to the division—1$

    Fixed costs—–160000$
    External sales-7000

    Dear Tutor, here Division B sells 7000 and calculate VC bu multuplying with 7000 and TPC with 14000?this is because External demand?if external demand was 14000 units then external sales woudl be 14000*154 not 7000?did i get it right?The division B might buy 14000 units from the division A and it only sold 7000 therefore we take only 7000.

    Another question if the Division B buys all units from Division A why then we multiply 7000 with variable cost (33$ )of Division B?In Fact the division B does not produce it only TPC of 43$ should be taken into consideration.

    Need expplanation

    thanks in advance

    Division B uses 2 units of the component from Division A for every unit that it makes and sells.
    Division B makes and sells 7,000 units, therefore they need to buy 14,000 components.

    Division B produces a product. This product uses components from Division A but B does extra work in order to produce the finished product.

    yea, it uses two units for the finished product therefore 7000 is total finished output and its input is 14000 components

    Yes – so the cost is the cost of 14,000 components plus the variable cost of working on the 7,000 units they are producing.
