In part C, (c) Discuss whether or not including fixed costs in a transfer price is a sensible policy.
One of the answer is problem with this pricing strateqy is fixed costs are effectively treated as variable costs from the The Perspective of the stores, as thev are inluded within the variable buy-in price. This could lead to poor decision making from a group perspective
If fixed costs are included (effectively absorption costing), then the more units that are produced and transferred then the more fixed costs are being included in total. However total fixed costs by definition will not change with the number of units produced.
