Asgard Farms, Inc., has a number of divisions that produce jams and jellies, condiments and glassware. The Glassware Division
manufactures a variety of bottles that can be sold externally (to soft-drink and juice bottlers) or internally to Asgard Farm's Jams
Division. Sales and cost data on a case of 24 basic 12-ounce bottles are as follows:
During the coming year, the Glassware Division expects to sell 470,000 cases of this bottle. The Jams and Jellies Division currently
plans to buy 109,160 cases on the outside market for $2.95 each. Bella Howard, manager of the Glassware Division, approached Pal
Vining, manager of the Jams and Jellies Division, and offered to sell the 109,160 cases for $2.90 each. Bella explained to Paul that
she can avoid selling costs of $0.13 per case by selling internally and that she would split the savings by offering a $0.05 discount or
the usual price.
