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-7000Dear 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 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.
February 20, 2020 at 5:30 pm #562527yea, it uses two units for the finished product therefore 7000 is total finished output and its input is 14000 components
February 21, 2020 at 6:39 am #562559Yes – so the cost is the cost of 14,000 components plus the variable cost of working on the 7,000 units they are producing.
