C# assignment 5: Shipping Charges
A large Internet merchandise provider determines its shipping charges based on the number of items purchased. As the number increases, the shipping charges proportionally decrease. This is done to encour- age more purchases. If a single item is purchased, the shipping charge is $2.99. When customers purchase between 2 and 5 items, they are charged the initial $2.99 for the first item and then $1.99 per item for the remaining items. For customers who purchase more than 5 items but less than 15, they are charged the initial $2.99 for the first item, $1.99 per item for items 2 through 5, and $1.49 per item for the remaining items. If they purchase 15 or more items, they are charged the initial $2.99 for the first item, $1.99 per item for items 2 through 5, and $1.49 per item for items 6 through 14, and then just $0.99 per item for the remaining items. Allow the user to enter the number of items purchased. Define appropriate constants, use the decimal data type, and display the ship- ping formatted charges.

Clinton Corporation has two decentralized divisions, Alpha and Beta. Alpha always has purchased certain units from Beta at $95 per unit. Beta plans to raise the price to $130 per unit, the price it receives from outside customers. As a result, Alpha is considering buying these units from outside suppliers for $95 per unit. Beta’s costs follow: Variable costs per unit $ 90 Annual fixed costs $ 170,000 Annual production of these units sold to Alpha 15,000 units

Required: a. If Alpha buys from an outside supplier, the facilities that Beta uses to manufacture these units will remain idle. What will be the result if Clinton enforces a transfer price of $130 per unit between Alpha and Beta?

Clinton's contribution margin would (increase/decrease) by ?????

b. Suppose Clinton enforces a transfer price of $95 and insists that Beta sell to Alpha before selling to outside customers. Beta currently operates at capacity and can easily sell the units it sells to Alpha on the outside market. What cost will Clinton incur as a result of this policy?
