Trans Atlantic Metals has two operating divisions. Its forging operation in Finland forges raw metal, cuts it, and then ships it to the United States where the companys Gear Division uses the metal to produce finished gears. Operating expenses amount to $10.5 million in Finland and $30.5 million in the United States exclusive of the costs of any goods transferred from Finland. Revenues in the United States are $75.5 million.

If the metal were purchased from one of the companys U.S. forging divisions, the costs would be $15.50 million. However, if it had been purchased from an independent Finnish supplier, the cost would be $25 million. The marginal income tax rate is 65 percent in Finland and 45 percent in the United States.
