Ch 22. Transfer Pricing
Wagonco has two divisions: Wheels and Wagons. Each wagon needs four wheels. Fixed costs = 0.
Wheels |
Wagons |
|
Sales/Market Price |
$5 per wheel |
$50 per wagon |
VC |
$3 per wheel |
$22.50 per wagon, not including the cost of wheels (four wheels per wagon) |
Items sold to outside market |
2,250 wheels per month |
800 per month |
Capacity |
5,000 wheels per month |
800 per month |
1. If there were no tax implications, what range of transfer prices would instill goal congruence?
2. If the Wheel division is in Canada, where the marginal tax rate is 23%, and the Wagon division is in the U.S., where the marginal tax rate is 34%, what transfer price (within the range you identified in #1) will the company prefer?
3. Calculate the tax savings to the company if it uses the transfer price you calculated in #3 instead of the transfer price at the opposite end of the range you calculated in #1.
The company will want to move (legally—using a TP within the range) income to the lowest-tax country
