Federated Manufacturing Inc. (FMI) produces electronic components in three divisions: industrial, commercial, and consumer products. The commercial products division annually purchases 12,600 units of part 236711, which the industrial division produces for use in manufacturing one of its own products. The commercial division is growing rapidly. The commercial division is expanding its production and now wants to increase its purchases of part 236711 to 17,600 units per year. The problem is that the industrial division is at full capacity. No new investment in the industrial division has been made for some years because top management sees little future growth in its products, so its capacity is unlikely to increase soon.

The commercial division can buy part 236711 from Advanced Micro Inc. or from Admiral Electric, a customer of the industrial division now purchasing 780 units of part 88461. The industrial division's sales to Admiral would not be affected by the commercial divisions decision regarding part 236711.
