Respuesta :

Answer:

a.$25.

Explanation:

The cost element of the company is divided into fixed and variable cost. while the fixed cost is unavoidable, the variable cost can be controlled. The transfer price is the price at which an item may be transferred or "sold" internally between to units within an organization.

For a division or unit to transfer a unit to another, the minimum transfer price is the variable cost.

Once the item is transferred at the variable cost, the contribution of that product internally is zero and the receiving division may then sell externally generating the actual sale and profit for the entire business.

The cost element of the company is divided into fixed and variable cost. while the fixed cost is unavoidable, the variable cost can be controlled.  

Given Information:-

  • Sale price=$45
  • Variable Cost=$25 per unit
  • Fixed cost per unit=$9

[tex]Minimum Transfer Price=Variable Cost + Opportunity Cost\\\\Opportunity Cost=Sale price-Variable cost\\\\Opportunity Cost=$45-$25\\Opportunity Cost=$20\\\\Thus, Minimum transfer price=$25+$20=$45[/tex]

Hence, correct option is D.
