Exam CIMAPRA19-P03-1 Topic 6 Question 140 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIMA's CIMAPRA19-P03-1 exam
Question #: 140
Topic #: 6
M is a multinational IT company with headquarters in Asia and with operations in all continents.
It is now trying to expand its operations in Europe. This is seen as a major challenge as the European market is very well developed with established players in fierce competition against each other.
As well as developing and producing its own products, it sources products across Asia, America and Europe as part of infrastructure deals which have to include as much of its own equipment as possible. In doing this, transfer prices can be set in YEN, USD, EURO, GBP. Transfer prices are revised every month in line with production times as most goods are made on short order times with sales cycles running at 3-4 months.
The longer sales cycle against committed transfer pricing presents problems as customers expect quotes to be valid for 90 days whereas M's suppliers reserve the right to revise pricing at the end of every month with quotes only valid for 8 days in the following month.
How should M deal with this problem?
