A company uses its direct labour workforce to make a product for which the sales price and unit cost are as follows.  

                                                                                             $ 

Selling price                                                                     80 

Direct materials                                                              10 

Direct labour (2 hours)                                                  20 

Variable overheads (2 hours)                                        4 

Fixed overheads (2 hours)                                           30 

The workforce is operating at full capacity and it is not possible to obtain any additional labour hours in the near future. A customer has asked the company to perform a special job that would require 20 hours of direct labour time. 

What would be the relevant cost of diverting labour from its existing work to perform the special job for the customer?

Fill in the blanks. 

 Ideally, a transfer price should be set that enables the individual divisions to maximise their profits at a level of output that maximises ……………………. .

There would be a variable cost of $1 per unit for sales and distribution to customers in the external market, but no such costs for internal transfers. 

To avoid disputes between the profit centre managers, what should be the transfer price for the product?
