Sales to outside customers are estimated at 37,400 lamps for the next year. Reading lamps are sold at $11 each. Variable costs are $7 per lamp and include $1 of variable sales costs that are not incurred if lamps are sold internally to Division A. The total amount of fixed costs for Division B is $72,300. Consider the following independent situations. What should be the minimum transfer price accepted by Division B for the 9,300 lamps and the maximum transfer price paid by Division A?
