I am having problem calculating the lost contribution while doing minimum transfer pricing.
I know that (Minimum transfer pricing = Marginal cost + opportunity cost) where opportunity cost is lost contribution for the selling division.
Please tell me how do i calculate lost contribution and in what perspective should i think as selling division or buying division??
And please also tell me the formula for maximum transfer pricing.
Isn't lower of either:
(External selling price - variable cost of buying division)
or
(External selling price of market)
Correct me if this is correct.
Ask the Tutor ACCA PM
Transfer pricing - Lost Contribution
The lost contribution is the difference between the external selling price and the marginal cost of production.
The 'rule' is correct.
I do suggest that you watch my free lectures on transfer pricing. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper PM and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
