    Minimum transfer cost will be $11.26

    Explanation:

    Selling price of paper back books is $9.60 per book

    Unit variable cost = $0.24

    Unit fixed cost = $0.09

    Variable cost for book = $1.90 per book

    If the company is operating on full capacity then transfer price will be equal to

    Transfer cost = variable cost + contribution to the lost.

    So minimum transfer cost = $1.90 + ($9.60-$0.24) = $11.26

    Therefore minimum transfer cost will be $11.26
