MSI is considering
eliminating a product from its ToddleTown Tours collection. This
collection is aimed at children one to three years of age and
includes “tours” of a hypothetical town. Two products, The Pet
Store Parade and The Grocery Getaway, have impressive sales.
However, sales for the third CD in the collection, The Post Office
Polka, have lagged the others. Several other CDs are planned for
this collection, but none is ready for production.

Managers are free to decide if they will participate in any internal transfers. All transfer prices are negotiated.
Required:
1. Refer to case 1 shown above. Alpha Division can avoid $3 per unit in commissions on any sales to Beta Division.
a. What is the lowest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the Alpha Division?
b. What is the highest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the Beta Division?
c. What is the range of acceptable transfer prices (if any) between the two divisions? Will the managers probably agree to a transfer?
2. Refer to case 2 shown above. A study indicates that Alpha Division can avoid $5 per unit in shipping costs on any sales to Beta Division.
a. What is the lowest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the Alpha Division?
b. What is the highest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the Beta Division?
c. What is the range of acceptable transfer prices (if any) between the two divisions? Would you expect any disagreement between the two divisional managers over what the exact transfer price should be?
d. Assume Alpha Division offers to sell 68,000 units to Beta Division for $37 per unit and that Beta Division refuses this price. What will be the loss in potential profits for the company as a whole?
3. Refer to case 3 shown above. Assume that Beta Division is now receiving an 6% price discount from the outside supplier.
a. What is the lowest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the Alpha Division?
b. What is the highest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the Beta Division?
c. What is the range of acceptable transfer prices (if any) between the two divisions? Will the managers probably agree to a transfer?

4. Refer to case 4 shown above. Assume that Beta Division wants Alpha Division to provide it with 56,000 units of a different product from the one Alpha Division is producing now. The new product would require $29 per unit in variable costs and would require that Alpha Division cut back production of its present product by 28,000 units annually.

Client acceptance is an important part of the
pre-engagement planning process for a CPA. For an existing client,
this process often involves reviewing the firm's financial
performance on the previous year's engagement, debriefing with the
prior year team regarding any issues working with the client,
reviewing public information about the company's activities during
the year, and considering other factors to determine the relative
risk to the firm to perform services for that client for another
year. For a new client to a firm, the client acceptance process
should be a more robust evaluation as a new client brings a
relatively unknown level of risk to the firm.
Required:
If you were the audit partner in charge of the new
client acceptance process, what would be the three most important
pieces of information that you would want to review about that
company before engaging to perform an audit for the new
client?
