Figure 12-3Grey Inc. has many divisions that are evaluated on the basis of ROI. One division, Centra, makes boxes. A second division, Mantra, makes chocolates and needs 80,000 boxes per year. Centra incurs the following costs for one box:
$\begin{array}{ll}
\text { Direct materials } & \$ 0.35 \
\text { Direct labor } & \$ 0.60 \
\text { Variable overhead } & \$ 0.40 \
\text { Fixed overhead } & \$ 0.13 \
\text { Total } & \$ 1.48
\end{array}$ Centra has capacity to make 700,000 boxes per year. Mantra currently buys its boxes from an outside supplier for $1.80 each (the same price that Centra receives).
-Refer to Figure 12-3. Assume that Grey Inc. mandates that any transfers take place at full manufacturing cost. What would be the transfer price if Centra transferred boxes to Mantra?
