Division A manufactures electronic circuit boards. The boards can be sold either to Division B of the same company or to outside customers. Last year, the following activity occurred in Division A:

Selling price per circuit board	$	175
Variable cost per circuit board	$	122
Number of circuit boards:
Produced during the year		21,600
Sold to outside customers		15,500
Sold to Division B		6,100

Sales to Division B were at the same price as sales to outside customers. The circuit boards purchased by Division B were used in an electronic instrument manufactured by that division (one board per instrument). Division B incurred $300 in additional variable cost per instrument and then sold the instruments for $650 each.
