The supplying division supplies milk, the main ingredient, to the processing division. Jaden is an ambitious entrepreneur, and he is hoping to soon sell Lime Ricky, which is a private company, to one of the larger competitors. The supplying division buys milk from local farmers for $13 per 10 gallons, and incurs $3 of variable costs per 10 gallons transported to the processing division (the supplying division doesn't incur any material fixed costs). The processing division could buy milk of the same high quality for $19 per 10 gallons on the outside market. Jaden is trying to "whip his company into shape" by implementing a transfer pricing system that he views as providing very strong incentives for the two divisions to work hard: The supplying division will get reimbursed for its incremental costs of supplying the milk to the processing division; the processing division is charged the price that it would have to pay on the open market.
