Cool Air Ltd. manufactures only one type of air conditioner and has two divisions, the Compressor Division, and the Assembly Division. The Compressor Division manufactures compressors for the Assembly Division, which completes the air conditioner and sells them to retailers. The Compressor Division "sells" compressors to the Assembly Division. The market price for the Assembly Division to purchase a compressor is $77. (Ignore changes in inventory.) The fixed costs for the Compressor Division are assumed to be the same over the range of 5,000-10,000 units. The fixed costs for the Assembly Division are assumed to be $15.00 per unit at 10,000 units. Compressor's costs per compressor are:

Direct materials $34.00
Direct labour $14.50
Variable overhead $6.00
Division fixed costs $15.00

Assembly's costs per completed air conditioner are:

Direct materials $300.00
Direct labour $125.00
Variable overhead $40.00
Division fixed costs $15.00

Assume the transfer price for a compressor is 150% of total costs of the Compressor Division and 1,000 of the compressors are produced and transferred to the Assembly Division. The Compressor Division's operating income is

a.$36,500.

b.$49,750.

c.$31,750.

d.$34,750.

e.$32,750
