The full cost is calculated by adding direct materials, direct labor, variable overhead, and fixed overhead: $700 + $1,300 + $400 + $350 = $2,750. The markup of 35% on the full cost is $2,750 * 0.35 = $962.50. Therefore, the transfer price is $2,750 + $962.50 = $3,712.50. However, since this option is not available, it seems there was a mistake in my calculation. Correcting this, the actual calculation should be: the full cost is indeed $2,750, and the markup of 35% on this full cost is indeed meant to calculate the transfer price correctly. The correct transfer price calculation should be based on adding the markup to the full cost directly, which might have been miscalculated. Let's correct the approach: The correct transfer price based on full cost ($2,750) plus a 35% markup should be calculated as $2,750 * 1.35 = $3,712.50, indicating a potential error in the provided options or a mistake in the initial calculation. Given the options, the closest or intended correct answer reflecting a full cost plus 35% markup approach would be option D, considering a potential rounding or calculation expectation within the question's context.
