11. The Tire Division of Traker Company produces tires for off-road sport vehicles. One-third of Tire's output is sold to an internal division of Traker; the remainder is sold to outside customers. Tire's estimated operating profit for the year is:

Internal Outside
Sales $ 186,000 $ 496,000
Variable costs 124,000 248,000
Fixed costs 42,000 84,000
Operating profits $ 20,000 $ 164,000
Unit sales 12,400 24,800

The internal division has an opportunity to purchase 12,400 tires of the same quality from an outside supplier on a continuing basis. The Tire Division cannot sell any additional products to outside customers. Should Traker Company allow its internal division to purchase the tires from the outside supplier at $13.00 per unit?
