Answer:

minimum transfer price $12

Explanation:

The minimum transfer price should be the cost to produce the additional units to transfer. AKA <em>marginal cost</em>

In this case, the division faces $12 of variable cost to produce a single unit.

As long as the units to transfer are within the relevant range of the current capacity the fixed cost are irrelevant for the transfer price as these are sunk cost (already incurred)

A small monopoly manufacturer of widgets has a constant marginal cost of ​$2020. The demand for this​ firm's widgets is Upper Q
mixas84 [53]

Answer: $903.13

Explanation:

The marginal cost should be $20 and not $2020

Given the following;

Marginal cost = $20

Q = 105 - 1P

Therefore ;

P = 105 - Q

Total revenue (TR) = Price(P) * Quantity(Q)

TR = (105 -Q)Q

Marginal revenue= 105 - 2Q

For optimal Monopoly;

MR = MC

105 - 2Q = 20

2Q = 105 - 20

Q = 85 ÷ 2

Q = 42.5

Therefore,

P = 105 - Q

P = 105 - 42.5 = 62.5

Social cost = area of triangle

Social cost = 0.5 * 42.5 * 42.5 =903.125

Social cost= $903.13
