Abstract
During their college experience, students are exposed to facts and theories in many different subject areas. By the time they graduate, students are expected to have developed critical thinking skills. They should be able to apply what was learned in the classroom to real life situations and be able to effectively communicate their analysis and conclusions. This case is derived from an actual situation occurring between the federal government and York County, Pennsylvania in 2003, as described on National Public Radio’s Morning Edition. The case requires students to assume the role of a consultant to York County. They need to identify the conflict, consider relevant theories, analyze the situation from both parties perspectives, and suggest a reasonable solution to the conflict. The primary subject matter of this case concerns transfer pricing. Secondary issues examined include opportunity costs, sunk costs, the use of progressive levels of critical thinking skills, the application of classroom knowledge to real life situations, and effective communication skills. The case has a difficulty of level of two and is appropriate for sophomore-level students in managerial accounting classes. The case is designed to be taught in a 1.25 hour class and is expected to require 2.5 hours of outside preparation by students, preferably working in small groups. Alternatively, the case could be assigned as a project that requires minimal classroom time.
