Question:

Desant, Inc., has a division in Indonesia that makes dyestuff in a variety of colors used to dye denim for jeans, and another division in the United States that manufactures denim clothing. The Dyestuff Division incurs manufacturing costs of $3.76 for one pound of powdered dye.

The Clothing Division currently buys its dye powder from an outside supplier for

$4.10 per pound. If the Clothing Division purchases the powder from the Indonesian division, the shipping costs will be $0.16 per pound, but sales commissions of $0.04 per pound will be avoided with an internal transfer.
