Looking for help here, I am having trouble with this chapter.

PROBLEM 22.8ATransfer Pricing DecisionsLO22-1,LO22-6

Sparta and Associates produces trophies and has two divisionsthe green division and the white division. The green division produces the trophy base, which it can sell to outside markets for $150. A trophy base has variable costs per unit of $65 and fixed costs of $100,000, based on monthly production of 2,000 bases. Each trophy base could be sold to outside customers by the green division, as bases are in high demand. The green division has no idle capacity.

The white division uses the base in the production of championship trophies. The market price of a championship trophy is $300. The white division can acquire trophy bases from outside suppliers for $160. The manager of the white division is interested in purchasing 1,500 trophy bases from the green division, but she wants to negotiate for a lower transfer price of $135. The current transfer price for a trophy base is the full market price of $150. The fixed costs in producing championship trophies are $57,500, and the variable cost of producing a championship trophy is $75, excluding the cost of the trophy base.
