Allocation of Resources
• Plan implementation can start only after resources are allocated
• Some uncertainty will remain in long-term plans• Line of involvement of managers & accountability
needs to be set up• Accountability to be set up• Approval and endorsement steps should be
minimal• Personnel should be trained & educated about
strategic business processes being enabled

Investment decision Making-Bower’s Model
• Based on discrepancies between plan and actual process of implementation
• Based on discrepancies key variables are determined and moderated
• 3 level functioning of strategic planning– Lower level-basic data– Middle level-synchronizes it– Top level- design the action plan
• Rewards and line of authority is set up by top management

Measuring Liability Employed
• Valuation Based on Earnings– Based on book value, does not reflect
market value
• Capital charges– Profit carried over to capital & reserves– Deferred expenses difficult to value (as
they arise in current year but accrue in a later time)
Debasis Das JSB 606

Measuring Asset Employed
• Is the decision regarding employment of asset correct?• Have the assets deployed been used correctly?
– Cash• Actual receipts-payments, handled centrally and allocated to units,
3 to 4 times annual sales
– Receivables• Influenced by sales & credit period, collection pattern
– Inventories• Similar to receivables, value would depend on inflow and outflow
– Overall working capital• Gross or net valuation, gross-only current assets, net-excess of
current assets over current liabilities
– Property, plant & equipment• Book vale less depreciation

Book Value: Gross & Net
• Disposition of assets– Dispose of low value assets first before replacement
• Depreciation– Straight line or reducing balance method
• Leased assets– Type of debt, lower capital cost
• Idle assets– Affect ROI, lowers it
• Intangible assets– R&D expenses for example
• EVA vs. ROI– EVA=net profit-capital charges, ROI-cost of capital

Objectives of Transfer Pricing
• Provide relevant information to the value chain to determine optimum trade off between cost & revenue
• Induce goal congruence by providing a competent atmosphere, freedom to source out & negotiate
• Measure economic performance of a profit center
• Single mechanism that’s easy to administer

Fundamental Assumptions
• Dependent on assumptions of two managerial decisions– Sourcing decision: make or buy– Price at which item to be transferred if a
“make” decision is made• Transfer price approximately market price not
including costs that do not apply• When competitive price not available take cost +
profit• Cost based transfer could be made based on
standard cost + profit margin or a two step pricing

Ideal Situation for Transfer Pricing
• Integration of business along value line
• Not diversified to unrelated businesses• Works best in horizontally integrated
business• There is common basis for calculating
fixed & variable costs• Multi-location business,

Limitations
• Ideal when external market exists for components in the value chain (not often, it is not so)
• If captive capacity exists. Internal prices are far better than external market prices
• Investing in large facilities are often a strategic decision. Negotiating with external market would not make sense

Methods of Transfer Pricing
• Full cost based– Full cost minus mark up
• Marginal cost based– Variable cost is used as reference cost
of transfer
• Negotiated– Negotiated between the units, based on
external market price
Debasis Das JSB 606
43
![Page 44: Management control systems jsb 606 part3](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081507/5549392cb4c905144d8b4b18/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Problems with Transfer Pricing
• Problem of integration of fixed costs in the upstream value chain– Profit centers higher in the value chain are not aware of
cost & profit coming up to them. They will be reluctant to negotiate own profits to optimize company’s profit
• Profit sharing– Product transferred to marketing at standard variable cost– Business units share the contribution realized from sale
• Two sets of transfer pricing– Each unit sold, a standard variable cost of production is
charged, a periodic charge fixed costs associated with facilities associated with facilities reserved by the buying unit

Administering Transfer Prices
• Negotiations– Between heads of the two units involved
• Arbitration & conflict resolution– Top management intervenes as arbitrators,
formally or informally• Product classification– Some products that can be benchmarked
against market price will have transfer price fixed by top management, others by negotiation

Theoretical Basis of Transfer Pricing
• Economic model– Fixed model of 1956 by Hirschleifier. Does not
provide for negotiations and applies in specific assumptions
• Linear programming model– Uses companywide optimum production patterns,
marginal costs and demand curves, not very practical
• Shapely value– Method of dividing profits between participants
based on contribution• Practical application of admin regulations & guidelines

Scheduling an Audit

• Time when most people are available– Peak work period is a bad time

• Full cost system

Limitations of Variance Analysis
• Why the variance cannot be determined
• Is a variance significant?• When aggregating plus or minus
variances can balance out• Variances can happen due to
extraneous factors such as inflation

Tight vs. Loose Control
• Variance analysis helps in tight control, it directly measures performance
• In tight control, employees are given specific goals and are monitored to perform as expected
• Loose control chooses the right people and it is expected they would do their best. Variance analysis acts as just an indicator
