Under what conditions is a market-based transfer price optimal?
The Burton Company manufactures chainsaws at its plant in Sandusky, Ohio. The company has marketing divisions throughout the world. A Burton marketing division in Lille, France, imports 200,000 chainsaws annually from the United States. The following information is available: Suppose the United States and French tax authorities only allow transfer prices that are between the full manufacturing cost per unit of 175 dollar and a market price of 250 dollar, based on comparable imports into France. The French import duty is charged on the price at which the product is transferred into France. Any import duty paid to the French authorities is a deductible expense for calculating French income taxes. 1. Calculate the after-tax operating income earned by the United States and French divisions from transferring 200,000 chainsaws (a) at full manufacturing cost per unit and (b) at market price of comparable imports. (Income taxes are not included in the computation of the cost-based transfer prices. 2. Which transfer price should the Burton Company select to minimize the total of company import duties and income taxes? Remember that the transfer price must be between the full manufacturing cost per unit of 175 dollar and the market price of 250 dollar of comparable imports into France. Explain your reasoning.
