Transfer price:
Sometime when a company is very huge they manufacture one part for their further manufacturing process and to sell outside as well. So, the price at which the one department sells goods to other department of the same company is called transfer price.
To explain: Transfer price for transferring goods from one department to another.
Explanation:
Windshield department is working at excess capacity and if it is not able to sell it all production then it will cost it a lot. Since, variable cost is $200 then it should not accept any price below it and the market price is $450, it means it can get maximum of $450 for its windshield. It means it should sell its windshield between $200 and $450.
Hence, windshield department can sell windshield at a transfer price range of $200 to $450.
