This will be a completely new style of component. Each unit of Product B will require one Component A. This component will not be sold by AA to external customers. AA has quoted a transfer price to BB of $45 for each unit of Component A.It is the policy of the ZZ group to reward managers based on their individual division’s return on capital employed.Details of the monthly production for each division are as follows:AA divisionOutputComponent A will be produced in batches of 1,000 units.
