2. Yes, since the variable cost of the transistor is $2.00 ($2.75 less the $0.75 of allocated
fixed overhead).
3. The negotiated price of $11.00 provides profit for both the Board and Systems
divisions. The Board Division realizes a profit of $1.70 per board ($11.00 – $9.30). The
Systems Division realizes a reduction in cost of $1.00 per board ($12.00 – $11.00).
It should be noted that the $12.00 is not a true market price because this particular
board is not sold externally. Thus, the Board Division is not necessarily foregoing
profit by not selling externally at its regular markup.
Problem 10.26
3. The management of Keimer Steel would have been more likely to accept the
contemplated capital acquisition if residual income were used as the performance
measure because the investment would have increased both the division’s residual
income and the management bonuses. Using residual income, management would
accept all investments with a return higher than 13 percent as these investments would
all increase the dollar value of residual income. When using ROI as a performance
measure, Keimer’s management is likely to reject any investment that would lower the
overall ROI (15 percent in 2015), even though the return is higher than the required
minimum, as this would lower bonuses.
4. Keimer must be able to control all items related to profits and investment if it is to be
evaluated fairly as an investment center using either ROI or residual income as
performance measures. Keimer must control all elements of the business except the
cost of invested capital, that being controlled by Raddington Industries.
Problem 10–28
2. The transfer price should be the market price of $12. This is the minimum price for the
Components Division and the maximum price for the Small AC Division.
3. Unless the manager of the Small AC Division is able to increase the price of Model
7AC, he will discontinue production and will not purchase any of the component. (The
full cost of producing the window unit will increase from $54.45 to $60, a cost greater
than the current selling price.)
4. All 10,000 units of Part 4CM will be sold externally at the market price of $12 per unit.
