The rubber division of morgan company manufactures rubber moldings and sells them externally for $50. its variable cost is $20 per unit, and its fixed cost per unit is $7. morgan's president wants the rubber division to transfer 5,000 units to another company division at a price of $27.
assuming the rubber division has available capacity of 5,000 units, the minimum transfer price it should accept is

a. $7.
b. $20.
c. $27.
d. $50.

b) $20

Explanation:

The minimum acceptable price per unit is $20.

This is because the minimum acceptable price is the break even price for the division. We will not include $7 fixed cost because it is not relevant to this transaction as it has to be paid regardless of this transfer.

The Minimum price thus is the price that cancels out all relevant costs namely the variable costs of $20.

Relevant costs are also known as the incremental costs that are incurred only when a particular activity is undertaken. Fixed costs as such are not incremental. Since there is spare capacity we are not forgoing any profits from external exchanges that needs to be accounted for.

Hope this helps

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
