    Hello Tutor,
    12. Product S is produced by Division A, and may be sold externally, or transferred to Division B for further processing.

    The market selling price per kg of Product S is $6.10. Product S can be further processed by Division B into Product SX, and be sold to external markets for $6.80. The variable cost to further process Product S into product SX is $0.80.

    Division A and Division B have been set up as profit centres, in which their managers are evaluated on the profits of their division.

    External demand for Product S is only 1,500 kg per month, but 1,800 kg per month are produced since Division A operates at full capacity in order to meet demand for the other joint products of the process. Any unsold kg of Product S are scrapped at the end of the month.

    Division B wishes to buy 500 kg per month of Product S from Division A.

    What is the minimum transfer price that Division A would accept for 500 kg of Product S?

    A.$0
    B.$1,220
    C.$1,360
    D.$3,050

    Here the answer is B 1220 ,So we should only count for 200 KG as opportunity cost a lost contribution
    at market price of 6.1

    and the remaining 300 is irrelevant

    but even though they must have a variable cost ???

    Thank,

    It asks for a minimum cost….
    What is fundamentally the lowest cost to transfer
    200kg @ 6.10 = 1220

    The variable cost relates to making the product into SX not as S
    300 kg of them are ready because 1800kg are made but only 1500kg they have demand for.
    It states any unsold is scrapped
    So it is 200kg @ 6.10 = 1220
