    No option is correct because GAAP doesn't allow profits to be recorded during intercompany sales or other transactions. This is the same for parents companies and subsidiaries, or different divisions within the same corporation. Any intercompany transaction must be recorded at cost of goods sold, you can only record a profit or loss after the goods are sold to an external client.

    In this case, both Shelly and Ash work for the same company, and the transfer of electronic switches must be recorded at COGS, if they are recorded at market value, then a non-existing profit would be recorded. This transaction cannot even be recorded as a sale, just a transfer of goods between units.

    shelly should price them the same as what Mandy would have to pay for them in the marketplace

    In the firm if Shelly wants the transaction involving the pallet of electronic switches to be representative of market conditions, she will should price them the same as what Mandy would have to pay for them in the marketplace.

    The transaction value will not be overstated or understated in the companie's books, but Shelly's unit should record the transaction at market price.
