SWAL has two divisions, SW and AL, which operate as profit centres and have full autonomy in making, buying and selling decisions.

SW manufactures SW+ at a cost of $12 per unit. The market price of SW+ is $16 per unit.

AL uses SW+ in manufacturing its own product. The transfer price of SW+ when transferred from Division SW to Division AL is set at full production cost plus 20%.

Which one of the following independent circumstances represents dysfunctional behaviour arising from SWAL's transfer pricing policy?

A

SW refuses to sell SW+ to AL as there is unlimited demand for SW+ in the external market.

B

AL refuses to order from SW as it can buy SW+ from the open market at lower than current transfer price. As a result, SW sells all its units on the open market.

C

SW refuses to transfer below market price so AL is forced to buy from the external market.

D

SW agrees to sell to AL but has to cancel the sale in order to fulfil an urgent customer order who is willing to pay a higher price for immediate delivery.
