Answer 1

The correct answer is the option A: managers act in their own best interest and the decision in in the long-term.

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin with, a transfer-pricing is a method used in the companies in order to achieve a sale from a product between one subsidiary to another within a company and is commonly used in situations where the subsidiaries of a parent company are measured as separate profit centers. And regarding the price, the manager of the subsidiary treats it the same way as it would be a sale of a product outside of the company. That is why that this method leads to the goal when the managers act in their own best interest.
