The River Falls Company has two divisions. The Cutting Division prepares timber at its sawmills. The Coating Division prepares the cut lumber into finished wood for the furniture industry. No inventories exist in either division at the beginning of 20X5. During the year, the Cutting Division prepared 60,000 cords of wood at a cost of $720,000. All the lumber was transferred to the Coating Division, where additional operating costs of $5 per cord were incurred. The 600,000 boardfeet of finished wood were sold for $2,500,000.
Required:
a. Determine the operating income for each division if the transfer price from Cutting to Coating is at cost - $12 a cord.
b. Determine the operating income for each division if the transfer price is $9 per cord.
c. Since the Cutting Division sells all of its wood internally to the Coating Division, does the manager care what price is selected? Why? Should the Cutting Division be a cost center or a profit center under the circumstances?
