Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 The transfer price per trailer should be $92 each

Since the trailer division can sell all the trailer to outside customer, the price which the trailer division will charge will be $92

Contribution = (Selling price - variable cost) = (92 - 49) = $43

Transfer price will be = Variable cost + contribution lost to outside customer

Transfer price will be = 49 + 43 = 92

2 Range of acceptable price would be  $49 but not more than $92

Since the trailer division will not have to sacrifice any sale to the outside customer, there will not be contribution lost to outside customer

Additional cost which trailer division will have to incure will be $49 ie variable cost

So the trailer division can charge minimum $49 for its variable cost

Trailer division can charge maximum $92 which is the selling price to outside customer.

so the price range will be between $49 to $92
