Question 21

An organization is comprised of two divisions. One of the divisions manufactures a product that it sells both to an imperfect external market and to the other division.

The organization wishes to establish the most suitable basis for the transfer price for this product and is considering either a negotiated transfer price or a market-based transfer price.

Which of the following statements is correct?

Options:

A.

A negotiated transfer price could help to overcome the problem of establishing a single price for this external market.

B.

A single market price for all of the division's output can be determined easily whereas a negotiated transfer price may result in protracted negotiations.

C.

A negotiated transfer price will always result in goal congruence whereas this is not always true when using a single market-based transfer price.

D.

A market-based transfer price will ensure both divisional autonomy and goal congruence because part of the division's output is sold to the external market.

Question 24

A company operates a divisional structure. The manager of division D receives a bonus based on the division's annual return on capital employed (ROCE).

A minimum ROCE of 20% must be achieved to receive any bonus and thereafter the bonus increases in line with increases in ROCE.

This year division D achieved a ROCE of 24% and the divisional manager received a large bonus.

The manager is considering an investment in a new machine for next year. The incremental ROCE earned by the machine is expected to be 19% although the ROCE for the division as a whole with the machine is expected to be 22%. Without the machine, ROCE is likely to be stable at 24%.

The cost of capital for the company as a whole is 18% per year.

Which of the following statements is correct?

Options:

A.

The manager will accept the investment because overall the division will earn a ROCE that exceeds the minimum target of 20%.

B.

The manager will reject the investment because it will result in a lower bonus than without the investment.

C.

The manager will accept the investment because it will earn a ROCE that is higher than the company's cost of capital.

D.

The manager will reject the investment because it will result in the receipt of no bonus.
