Using this formula

Minimum transfer price =Variable production cost per bd. ft.+(Variable selling cost per bd. ft. -per board foot saved in shipping costs)

Let plug in the formula

Minimum transfer price=$1.25+$0.15

Minimum transfer price=$1.4

Therefore the minimum transfer price that the Lumber Division could accept is $1.4
