Hrubec Products has just acquired a small company that manufactures paper cartons. This company will be treated as a division of Hrubec with full profit responsibility. The newly formed Carton Division is currently purchasing 30,000 tons of pulp per year from a supplier for $20 per ton, less a 10% purchase discount. Hrubec's president is anxious for the Carton Division to begin purchasing its pulp from the Pulp Division if an acceptable transfer price can be worked out

Are the managers of the Carton and Pulp Divisions likely to voluntarily agree to a transfer price for 30,000 tons of pulp next year?

4-b. If the Pulp Division does not meet the $16 price, what will be the effect on the profits of the company as a whole?
5. Refer to (4) above. If the Pulp Division refuses to meet the $16 price, should the Carton Division be required to purchase from the Pulp Division at a higher price for the good of the company as a whole?
