Luciana Vang · Answer 1

correct option is B. $21

Explanation:

given data

to make = $30

variable cost = $21

fix cost = $9

selling cost = $47

solution

we get here transfer price that is express as

transfer price = outlay cost per unit + opportunity cost per unit ... 1

here outlay cost is $21 and opportunity cost = 0 because division has idle capacity

so that put value in equation 1

transfer price = 0 + 21

transfer price = $21

so correct option is B. $21
