IIRC the internal transfer price was $400. The whole "business model" of being a captive supplier was extremely messy, including the calculation of internal transfer price. For T&M instruments for internal consumption, they abandoned "transfer at cost" decades ago.
This was probably one of the reasons HP abandoned their traditional vertical integration model. Jack Kusters used to rant about being jerked around by the other divisions. Another issue was that the high end instrument divisions (eg 8662) wanted the cream of the crop and the Santa Clara Division had to dispose of the junk by shipping it with counters.
