Answer:

Cost savings when transfer are made = $0

Explanation:

In the question it was given that Quail is operating at capacity, then the Minimum and Maximum transfer price would be market price = $15.80

Cost savings when transfer are made = No of unit Marlin purchase*(Maximum transfer price - Minimum transfer price)

Cost savings when transfer are made = 195,000 unit * ($15.80 - $15.80)

Cost savings when transfer are made = $3,081,000 - $3,081,000

Cost savings when transfer are made = $0
