Its forging operation in Finland forges raw metal, cuts it, and then ships it to the United States where the company's Gear Division uses the metal to produce finished gears. Operating expenses amount to $20.6 million in Finland and $60.6 million in the United States exclusive of the costs of any goods transferred from Finland. Revenues in the United States are $156 million. If the metal were purchased from one of the company's U.S. forging divisions, the costs would be $30.6 million. However, if it had been purchased from an independent Finnish supplier, the cost would be $40.6 million. The marginal income tax rate is 60 percent in Finland and 40 percent in the United States.

(Enter your answers in dollars and not in millions of dollars.) Total tax liability Transfer price 30.6 million 40.6 million
