Munoz Company has two divisions, A and B. Division A manufactures 6,200 units of product per month. The cost per unit is calculated as follows.

Variable costs	$	7.40
Fixed costs		19.50
Total cost	$	26.90

Division B uses the product created by Division A. No outside market for Division As product exists. The fixed costs incurred by Division A are allocated headquarters-level facility-sustaining costs. The manager of Division A suggests that the product be transferred to Division B at a price of at least $26.90 per unit. The manager of Division B argues that the same product can be purchased from another company for $19.40 per unit and requests permission to do so.
