Accept Reject 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: 1.76 points $ $ 190 130 Selling price per circuit board Variable cost per circuit board Number of circuit boards: Produced during the year Sold to outside customers Sold to Division B 20,300 14,600 5,700 eBook Hint 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 $270 in additional variable cost per instrument and then sold the instruments for $700 each. Print Required: 1. Prepare income statements for Division A, Division B, and the company as a whole. 2. Assume Division A's manufacturing capacity is 20,300 circuit boards. Next year, Division B wants to purchase 6,700 circuit boards from Division A rather than 5,700. (Circuit boards of this type are not available from outside sources. From the standpoint of the company as a whole, should Division A sell the additional 1,000 circuit boards to Division B or continue to sell them to outside customers?
