The Bathtub Division of Flint Plumbing Corporation has recently approached the Faucet Division with a proposal. The Bathtub Division would like to make a special "ivory" tub with gold$-$plated fixtures for the company's $50-$year anniversary. It would make only $5,900$ of these units. It would like the Faucet Division to make the fixtures and provide them to the Bathtub Division at a transfer price of $$185.$ If sold externally, the estimated unit variable cost would be $$169.$ However, by selling internally, the Faucet Division would save $$9$ per unit on variable selling expenses. The Faucet Division is currently operating at full capacity. Its standard unit sells for $$59$ per unit and has variable costs of $$42.$

Compute the minimum transfer price that the Faucet Division should be willing to accept.
