    minimum transfer price $12

    Explanation:

    The minimum transfer price should be the cost to produce the additional units to transfer. AKA marginal cost

    In this case, the division faces $12 of variable cost to produce a single unit.

    As long as the units to transfer are within the relevant range of the current capacity the fixed cost are irrelevant for the transfer price as these are sunk cost (already incurred)
