The product under consideration is viewedas a commodity-type product, with no differentiating features or characteristics.Required1. What roles are played by transfer prices? That is, why are transfer prices needed?2. Use the general transfer pricing rule presented in the chapter to determine an appropriate transfer price.Why is the amount you calculated considered an appropriate transfer price?3.
