    Section B - Case 3: Quantum Nexus

    Quantum Nexus is a cross-border tech hardware company.
    Division A (located in Country X) manufactures microchips. Division B (located in Country Y) assembles these chips into smartphones.

    Division A Data:
    Variable cost per chip = $120
    Fixed cost per chip = $30
    External market selling price = $200

    Division B Data:
    External purchase price for similar chips = $190
    Variable processing cost to assemble phone = $50
    Final selling price of smartphone = $300

    What is the maximum transfer price Division B should be willing to pay?

    Answer options:

    A.

    $250

    B.

    $190

    C.

    $200

    D.

    $300

    How to approach this question

    Calculate Net Marginal Revenue (Final SP - Div B variable costs). Compare this to the external purchase price. The maximum Div B will pay is the lower of these two.

    Full Answer

    B.$190✓ Correct
    The maximum transfer price is set by the receiving division (B). It is the lower of: 1. The external market purchase price ($190). 2. Net Marginal Revenue (Final Selling Price - Div B Variable Costs = $300 - $50 = $250). Since Division B can buy the chips externally for $190, they will not pay Division A a penny more than $190.

    Common mistakes

    Choosing the Net Marginal Revenue ($250) and forgetting that an external market exists.
