The correct answer is: 50%. 

Breakeven point is when total contribution equals fixed costs. 

At breakeven point, $9,000 = 450 (selling price – $40)

 ∴ $20 = price – $40

 ∴ price = $60

 ∴ Mark-up = ((60 – 40) /40) × 100% = 50%

Fill in the blanks. 

 Ideally, a transfer price should be set that enables the individual divisions to maximise their profits at a level of output that maximises ……………………. . 

 The transfer price which achieves this is unlikely to be a ……………….. transfer price or a ……………. transfer price.  

 If optimum decisions are to be taken, transfer prices should reflect …………………. . 

There are two profit centres, A and B. Profit centre A transfers a product to profit centre B, but could also sell the product in an external market at a price of $30. The marginal cost of making the product in profit centre A is $8 per unit and the full cost is $14 per unit. There would be a variable cost of $1 per unit for sales and distribution to customers in the external market, but no such costs for internal transfers. 

To avoid disputes between the profit centre managers, what should be the transfer price for the product?
