Answer:

Cotwold Company

The Molding Division

The Molding Division should not accept the transfer price proposed by management.  It is not reasonable and fair according to the rules for transfer pricing.  However, the amount is above the marginal cost for the Molding Division.

Therefore, the division should exhaust opportunities for renegotiation of the transfer price.  However, ultimately, management's decision will prevail.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Price of casing to external customers = $27 per unit

Variable costs for the casing = $14 per unit

Fixed cost for the casing = $3 per unit

Quantity to the Assembly Division = 10,000

Agreed transfer price = $19
