Red River:
Capacity (bags that can be produced, annually) 39,000
Bags sold per year to outside customers 34,000
Selling price per bag of pottery clay to other (outside) customers: $ 60
Variable production costs/expenses per bag: $ 48
Green Hills:
The desired annual number of bags of pottery clay: 20,000
Price per bag that would be charged from an available alternative supplier: $ 62
Assuming no other relevant issues (quality, etc.), what is the minimum acceptable transfer priceper bag that Red River (the seller!) would require from Green Hills (the buyer!)? (It would have to supply all 20,000 desired bags. Show applicable calculations)
