The variable costs of Division B will be incurred whether it buys from Division A or from an outside supplier. If Division A wants to transfer the parts to Division B for $81, the manager of Division B would:


A) buy from Division A, as this would be in the best interest of the company as a whole
B) probably ask Division A's manager to split the difference between the $81 and the market price of $75 to arrive at a transfer price of $78
C) buy the part from Division A as long as Division A could supply a large enough quantity to make it profitable to Division B
D) not want to buy from Division A, as the same product could be purchased at the market price of $75
