Answer:

b) $20

Explanation:

The minimum acceptable price per unit is $20.

This is because the minimum acceptable price is the break even price for the division. We will not include $7 fixed cost because it is not relevant to this transaction as it has to be paid regardless of this transfer.

The Minimum price thus is the price that cancels out all relevant costs namely the variable costs of $20.

Relevant costs are also known as the incremental costs that are incurred only when a particular activity is undertaken. Fixed costs as such are not incremental. Since there is spare capacity we are not forgoing any profits from external exchanges that needs to be accounted for.

Hope this helps

Answer:

The correct answer is the option C: Relational switching cost.

Explanation:

To begin with, the concept known as <em>''switching cost'' </em>in the field of business, basically refers to all the costs involved in the procedure of switching from a supplier to a new one. Moreover, this term also involves many different types, such as financial switching costs, procedural switching costs and relational switching costs.

To continue, the third one, <em>the relational switching cost</em> refers to the situation where a company has changed its supplier and a big loss of identification and emotional bonds changed as well with it.
