Transfer Pricing from the Viewpoint of the Entire Company - Division A manufactures electronic circuit boards. The boards can be sold either to Division B of the same company or to outside customers. Last year, the following activity occurred in Division A:

Selling price per circuit board	$176
Variable cost per circuit board	112
Number of circuit boards:
Produced during the year	20,200
Sold to outside customers	15,500
Sold to Division B	4700

Sales to Division B were at the same price as sales to outside customers. The circuit boards purchased by Division B were used in an electronic instrument manufactured by that division (one board per instrument). Division B incurred $270 in additional variable cost per instrument and then sold the instruments for $680 each.
