Whitehill Chemicals has two operating divisions. Its Formulation Division in the United States mixes, processes, and tests basic
chemicals, and then ships them to Ireland, where the company's Commercial Division uses the chemicals to produce and sell various
products. Operating expenses amount to $27.2 million in the U.S. and $79.2 million in Ireland exclusive of the costs of any goods
transferred from the U.S. Revenues in Ireland are $207 million.

been purchased from an independent U.S. supplier, the cost would be $53.2 million. The marginal income tax rate is 20 percent in the
