As another example, assume a taxpayer sells 1000 tons of a product for $80 per ton to an associated enterprise in its MNE group, and at the same time sells 500 tons of the same product for $100 per ton to an independent enterprise.

The relevant market should be researched by analysing transactions in similar products to determine typical volume discounts.
