Top management of Kobe International would like the Heating Division to transfer 15,000 heating units to another division within the company at a price of $31. The Heating Division Is operating at full capacity. What is the minimum transfer price that the Heating Division should accept?
1) Computation of the valuation of the stock:-
Valuation of the stock = (Dividend / (1 + Rate)) + (Selling price / (1 + Rate))
= ($0.24 / (1+15%)) + ($30 / (1+15%))
= 0.21 + $26.09
= $26.30
2) Computation of the minimum transfer price:-
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost
= $22 + ($41 - $22)
= $22 + $19
= $41
