The maximum transfer price would be $50.

Explanation:

The maximum transfer price is nothing but the market price for the product, which is the most simple way to derive a transfer price. Here by selling the components of aircraft engines at market price, there are very good chances of high profits to be earned. So the maximum transfer price should be $50.
