Question - ROI, Transfer Prices, Taxes, Employee Motivation
Fowler Electronics produces colour plasma screens in its Windsor, Ontario, plant. The screens are then shipped to the company's plant in Detroit, Michigan, where they are incorporated into finished televisions. Although the Windsor plant never sells plasma screens to any other assembler, the market for them is competitive. The market price is $750 per screen.
Variable costs to manufacture the screens are $350. Fixed costs at the Windsor plant are $2,000,000 per period. The plant typically manufactures and ships 10,000 screens per period to the Detroit plant. Taxes in Canada amount to 30% of pretax income. The Canadian plant has total assets of $20,000,000. The Detroit plant incurs variable costs to complete the televisions of $110 per set (in addition to the cost of the screens).
The Detroit plant's fixed costs amount to $4,000,000 per period. The 10,000 sets produced each period are sold for an average of $2,500 each. The U.S. tax rate is 45% of pretax income. The U.S. plant has total assets of $30,000,000. All dollar amounts are after exchange rate corrections.
