- What is Alpha Divisions’s lowest acceptable transfer price?
- What is Beta Division’s highest acceptable transfer price?
- What is the range of acceptable transfer prices (if any) between the two divisions? Would you expect any disagreement between the two divisional managers over what the exact transfer price should be? Explain.
- Assume Alpha Division offers to sell 30,000 units to Beta Division for $88 per unit and that Beta Division refuses this price. What will be the loss in potential profits for the company as a whole?

- Refer to case 4 shown above. Assume Beta Division wants Alpha Division to provide it with 120,000 units of a different product from the one Alpha Division is producing now. The new product would require $21 per unit in variable costs and would require that Alpha Division cut back production of its present product by 45,000 units annually.
