(a) manufacturing overhead costs in the mining division are 25% fixed and 75% variable
(b) manufacturing overhead costs in the metals division are 60% fixed and 40% variable
1. calculate the operating incomes for the mining and metals division for the 200,000 units of toldine transferred under the following transfer- pricing methods: (a) market price and (b) 110% of full manufacturing cost.
