KSO budgeted to sell 10,000 units of a new product during 20X0. The budgeted sales price was $10 per unit, and the variable cost $3 per unit. Actual sales in 20X0 were 12,000 units and variable costs of sales were $30,000, but sales revenue was only $5 per unit. With the benefit of hindsight, it is realised that the budgeted sales price of $10 was hopelessly optimistic, and a price of $4.50 per unit would have been much more realistic.

The only variances are selling price variances. 

Planning (selling price) variance  

                                                                                     $ per unit 

Original budgeted sales price                                  10.00 

Revised budgeted sales price                                    4.50 

Sales price planning variance                                     5.50 (A) 

The planning variance is adverse because the revised sales price is lower than the sales price in the original budget. As a result, actual profit will not achieve the budgeted profit level. 

The total sales price planning variance is obtained by multiplying the planning variance per unit by the actual number of units sold (not the budgeted number of units sold). 

Sales price planning variance = $5.50 per unit (A) × 12,000 units sold  = $66,000 (A). 

Operational (selling price) variance 

The sales price operational variance is calculated in the same way as a 'normal' sales price variance, except that the sales price in the revised budget is used, not the original budget.  

                                                                                            $ 

12,000 units sold for (12,000 × $5)                        60,000 

They should have sold for (× $4.5)                         54,000 

Operational (selling price) variance                          6,000 (F)

Fill in the blanks. 

 Ideally, a transfer price should be set that enables the individual divisions to maximise their profits at a level of output that maximises ……………………. . 

 The transfer price which achieves this is unlikely to be a ……………….. transfer price or a ……………. transfer price.  

 If optimum decisions are to be taken, transfer prices should reflect …………………. . 

There are two profit centres, A and B. Profit centre A transfers a product to profit centre B, but could also sell the product in an external market at a price of $30. The marginal cost of making the product in profit centre A is $8 per unit and the full cost is $14 per unit. There would be a variable cost of $1 per unit for sales and distribution to customers in the external market, but no such costs for internal transfers. 

To avoid disputes between the profit centre managers, what should be the transfer price for the product?

(b) Assume that other objectives are to improve road safety in the area and to reduce crime. How much does 'adequate' street lighting contribute to each of these aims?
