Maple Cargo is an all$-$cargo airline that operates on four continents. Its headquarters are in New Zealand. It has two divisions, Cargo

and Maintenance. Cargo Division flies cargo to and from international locations. Maple Cargo also has a maintenance facility located in

Hong Kong and schedules its planes in such a way that most maintenance can be done there. In addition to Maple aircraft,

Maintenance Division also provides services to several other passenger and cargo air companies.

All of the Cargo Division income is deemed to be earned in New Zealand. Income from the Maintenance Division is deemed to be

earned in Hong Kong. Maple's income deemed attributable to New Zealand is taxed at a $28$ percent rate. Its income attributable to

Hong Kong is taxed at a $16\mathrm{.}5$ percent rate. Last year, Maintenance Division had operating revenues of $$45$ million, excluding services

performed for Cargo Division aircraft. Cargo Division revenues last year were $$168$ million.

Operating costs of Maintenance Division were $$30$ million last year, and operating costs for the Cargo Division, before considering

maintenance costs, totaled $$80$ million. No similar maintenance facilities in Hong Kong are available to Maple.

Recently, a maintenance facility opened in Malaysia. That facility proposed to Cargo Division that it could conduct the maintenance in

Malaysia. The facility proposed a price of $$39$ million for the services that Maintenance Division in Hong Kong provided to Cargo

Division. Maple management estimated that had the services been provided in New Zealand, the costs for the year would have totaled

$$56$ million. In its latest tax filing, Maple assigned the $$56$ million as the appropriate transfer price Cargo paid for the services from

Maintenance. The New Zealand tax authorities denied that expense and instead applied $$39$ million as the appropriate transfer price.
