During the year ended 31st December 2009, Grey Ltd has sold goods to Blue plc for £65,000 (transfer price). The standard gross profit % charged on inter-company sales is 30%.
50% of these goods have since been sold by Blue plc to external customers.
I used to calculate like that , 65000 x 0.3 x 0.5 = 9750 but the marking scheme is given the urp is 13000 . I just wonder how it is calculate or maybe i misunderstand the meaning of transfer price ? Can anyone explain to me step by step . Thank you.
Either you have mistyped the question or else the answer you are looking at is wrong.
On the figures that you have given, then the PURP is indeed 9,750 – your workings are correct. (the answer would be correct if the gross profit % was 40% (not 30%)!)
