The Commando Motorcycle Company has decided to become decentralized and split its operations into two divisions, Motor and Assembly. Both divisions will be treated as investment centers. The Motor Division is currently operating at its capacity of 30,000 motors per year. Motor's costs at this level of production are as follows:
Â
| Â | Cost per motor |
| Direct materials | $ 30 |
| Direct labor | 50 |
| Variable manufacturing overhead | 20 |
| Fixed manufacturing overhead | 25 |
| Variable selling and administrative | 5 |
| Fixed selling and administrative |
10 |
| Total cost per motor |
$140 |
Â
Motor sells 10,000 of its motors to a snowmobile manufacturer and transfers the remaining 20,000 motors to the Assembly Division. The two divisions are currently in a debate over an appropriate transfer price to charge for the 20,000 motors. Motor currently charges the snowmobile manufacturer $200 per motor. The final selling price of the motorcycles that Commando produces is $7,200 per cycle. This selling price will not change regardless of the transfer price charged between the two divisions. Motor has no market for the 20,000 motors if they are not transferred to Assembly. Variable selling and administrative costs are incurred on both internal and external sales.
