Required information

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Tall Pines Brewery (TPB) makes two specialty beers in its microbrewery: Golden Ale and Dark Ale. Both beers sell for the same price per case in the U.S. market and in the export market. The latter market is primarily European countries. Both beers also have the same variable production costs, though the export product has slightly higher variable costs due to shipping and other distribution costs associated with the export beers. The price, cost, and market information for the two beers are shown below:
