Required: Affiliate A sells 8,000 units to Affiliate B per year. The marginal Income tax rate for Affiliate A is 25 percent and the marginal Income tax rate for Affiliate B is 40 percent. The transfer price per unit is currently $2,000, but it can be set at any level between $2,000 and $2,400. Derive a formula to determine how much annual after-tax profits can be increased by selecting the optimal transfer price. Note: Do not round Intermediate calculations. Increase in annual after-tax profits
