 12. Product S is produced by Division A, and may be sold externally, or transferred to Division B for further processing.The market selling price per kg of Product S is $6.10. Product S can be further processed by Division B into Product SX, and be sold to external markets for $6.80. The variable cost to further process Product S into product SX is $0.80. Division A and Division B have been set up as profit centres, in which their managers are evaluated on the profits of their division. External demand for Product S is only 1,500 kg per month, but 1,800 kg per month are produced since Division A operates at full capacity in order to meet demand for the other joint products of the process. Any unsold kg of Product S are scrapped at the end of the month. Division B wishes to buy 500 kg per month of Product S from Division A. What is the minimum transfer price that Division A would accept for 500 kg of Product S? A.$0 
 B.$1,220
 C.$1,360
 D.$3,050Here the answer is B 1220 ,So we should only count for 200 KG as opportunity cost a lost contribution 
 at market price of 6.1and the remaining 300 is irrelevant but even though they must have a variable cost ??? Thank, February 21, 2025 at 10:22 pm #715526It asks for a minimum cost…. 
 What is fundamentally the lowest cost to transfer
 200kg @ 6.10 = 1220The variable cost relates to making the product into SX not as S 
 300 kg of them are ready because 1800kg are made but only 1500kg they have demand for.
 It states any unsold is scrapped
 So it is 200kg @ 6.10 = 1220February 25, 2025 at 11:33 am #715574Thanks a lot for clarification. February 25, 2025 at 4:43 pm #715580You are most welcome
