The parts needed to assemble into the components in Yilandwe will be sent from the USA by Imoni Co at a cost of $200 per component unit, from which Imoni Co would currently earn a pre-tax contribution of $40 for each component unit. However, Imoni Co feels that it can negotiate with Yilandwe’s government and increase the transfer price to $280 per component unit.
My question is that I am not sure the definition of a pre-tax contribution and the transfer price.
Thank you for your amazing lecture, I have watched them twice so far.
March 9, 2020 at 4:13 pm #565000The transfer price is the price that Imoni is charging for the components. At present they are making a contribution of $40 per unit and so the variable cost to Imoni must be 200 – 40 = $160 per unit.
In future they will charge 280 per unit and so the contribution will be 280 – 160 = 120 per unit.The 280 is a cash outflow from Yilandwe. The net receipt for Imoni is 120 and this will be taxable on Imoni.
March 10, 2020 at 3:39 am #565020Thank you for your clear answer. Speaking of this question, Sales component units are stated in 000s. Is it ok to assume 000s as million?
Thank you very much ~
