standard unit: unit variable cost $$38,$ unit fixed cost $$23,$ and unit selling price to outside customer $$87.$ Berna currently purchases a

standard unit from an outside supplier for $$82.$ Because of quality concerns and to ensure a reliable supply, the top management of

Berna has ordered Martinez to provide $192,000$ units per year at a transfer price of $$36$ per unit. Martinez is already operating at full

capacity. Martinez can avoid $$3$ per unit of variable selling costs by selling the unit internally.
