Transfer Pricing
Transfer price is a price chargedby one profit center of anorganization for a product supplied
to another business unit of thesame organization
Importance of Transfer pricingsystem Companies with high volumes of
interdivisional sales
Vertically integrated companies

Objectives of TransferPricing
Provide each segment with therelevant information
Induce goal congruent decisions
Help measure the economicperformance of the individual profit
centers
Should be simple to understand andeasy to administer

Calculation of Transfer Price
The following details are given for Unit X & Unit Y of a company
Expected monthly sales to Bn. Unit Y 5000 units
V.C.(per unit) Rs. 5
Monthly F.C. Rs. 20,000
Investment Rs. 1,20,000
ROI 10% p.a.
PARTICULARS RS.
Variable cost per unit 5
Fixed cost per unit 4
Profit per unit 2TRANSFER PRICE 11
WORKING NOTE1.Fixed cost per unit = 20000/5000 = Rs. 42.Profit per unit = (10% of 120000)/(125000) =
Rs. 2

Example: Cristal Ltd.1.Molten Glass Division
OP= 120-65=55/tonTP=65+55=120/ton

Goals of Division
Increase the revenue of the division Decrease the cost
To get resources at cheaper rate from foreign countries
Shifting the profits to reduce overall taxes paid by amultinational group
To gain as much possible information and knowledgefrom other divisions
Measurement of performance
Increase in ROI
Transfer price is established with an aim to optimize thegroup performance, although it may hurt the selling or
the buying company within the group
Product development, manufacturing and marketing
Divisional goals should be in congruence with strategic
and corporate goals

Linear programming model
Based on Opportunity Cost approach
Also incorporates capacity constraints
Calculates an optimum companywide production
pattern, which helps calculate set of values thatattributes profit contribution of each of the scarceresources.
These values are called Shadow Prices, oneprocess of calculating them is called Obtainingthe Dual Solution to the linear program.
Transfer Prices = Variable costs of intermediateproduct + Shadow prices

If these transfer prices are used, each business
unit will optimize its profit by producing inaccordance with the pattern developed throughlinear programming.
To make the model manageable followingassumptions must be incorporated in it:
a) Demand curve is known
b) It is static
c) Cost function is linear
d) Alt uses of production facilities & theirprofitability can be estimated in advance

Problems of Growth
Problem of increasedefficiency
- Decision making rights ofmanagement and employees
Example: A farmer growingtomatoes
- Initial start up- Entrepreneurial spirit- Communicating what's
expected
- Utilizing a piecemeal rate- Amendment of contract
