The Bathtub Division of Ayayai Plumbing Corporation
has recently approached the Faucet Division with a proposal. The
Bathtub Division would like to make a special "ivory" tub with
gold-plated fixtures for the company's 50-year anniversary. It
would make only 6,200 of these units. It would like the
Faucet Division to make the fixtures and provide them to the
Bathtub Division at a transfer price of $194. If sold externally,
the estimated unit variable cost would be $178. However, by selling
internally, the Faucet Division would save $7 per unit on
variable selling expenses. The Faucet Division is currently
operating at full capacity. Its standard unit sells for
$62 per unit and has variable costs of $45.
Compute the minimum transfer price that the Faucet Division should
be willing to accept.
Should they accept this offer?
