The fastener division of Oriole Fasteners

manufactures zippers and then sells them to

customers for $$7\mathrm{.}53$ per unit. Its unit variable

cost is $$2\mathrm{.}66,$ and its unit fixed cost is $$1\mathrm{.}43.$

Management would like the fastener division to

transfer $11,900$ of these zippers to another

division within the company at a price of $$2\mathrm{.}66.$

The fastener division could avoid $$0\mathrm{.}34$ per

zipper of variable packaging costs by selling

internally. Determine the minimum transfer

price.
