4 Class Objectives 1. Assessing the impact of transfer price on behaviour 2. Transfer pricing and management control systems

5 George Burns Poultry: Context  An integrated poultry farm and processing plant of roaster size chickens  Divided into three divisions or profit centres (Farm, Packaging, Sales)  Burns Poultry purchased by ADM and Burns continues at Farm Division  Plant Capacity - 6,000 processed per day  Farm Capacity - 1,030 per day  Spoilage - 30 out of 1,030 chickens don’t pass inspection and have to be destroyed

19 2a.George Burns Farm Division: Eliminate 3,000 Inventory  Farm Division Profit  3000 @ $1.352 = $4,056  Sales Division Profit - Chicken  3000 @ $1.452 = $4,356 ($300 opp cost)  Sales Division Profit – Packaged Chicken  3000 @ $2.872 = $8,616 ($4,560 opp cost)

20 2b.George Burns Farm Division: Increase Hatching 1,030 to 1,130  Farm Division Profit  100 @ $1.352 @ 91 days = $12,303  Sales Division Profit - Chicken  100 @ $1.452 @ 91 days = $13,213 ($910 opp cost)  Sales Division Profit – Packaged Chicken  100 @ $2.872 @ 91 days = $26,135 ($13,832 opp cost)

22 George Burns Poultry: Farm Division vs Company Overall

23

24 George Burns Poultry: Evaluation  Responsibility Centre  Decentralized but central decision making  Controllability over sales centralized (except for sales department)  Transfer prices are imposed  Decentralized organizations drill decision making autonomy into the divisions or subunits  Sales centralization is not decentralization  Imposition of transfer pricing removes decision autonomy with adversevconsequences

25 George Burns Poultry: Evaluation  Responsibility Centre (cont’d)  All three divisions are designated as Profit Centre  Evaluation based on meeting target division profit  Revise responsibilities centre designation Farm & plant divisions – cost centres Sales division – revenue centre  Measure for Evaluation should be consistent with responsibility

26 George Burns Poultry: Evaluation  Compensation  Bonuses were paid at 5% of division profit in excess of target  Divisional Profit impacted by Transfer Price Transfer prices set at $2.90 per chicken transferred and $4.25 per packaged chicken Transfer prices set at 12% profit margin before admin costs  Non financial measures (spoilage, customer satisfaction, etc.) should be considered  Transfer price range ($2.13 to $3.00)  Transfer prices set at cost plus may cause inefficiencies to become another’s responsibility

27 Remedying Motivational Problems of Transfer Pricing Policies  1) Change responsibility centre classification  Consider treating the selling division as a cost centre.  Consider treating the selling division as a profit centre for external sales and a cost centre for internal transfers.  Use these criteria when evaluating division performance.  2) Dual transfer pricing  A dual transfer-pricing system charges the buying division for the cost of the transferred product (however the cost might be determined) and credits the selling division with the cost plus some profit allowance.  3) Average between minimum and maximum

28 Class Objectives- Revisited 1. Assessing the impact of transfer price on behaviour 2. Transfer pricing and management control systems
