In each of the cases below, assume Division X has a product that can be sold to outside customers or to Division Y of the same company. The managers of the divisions are evaluated based on their divisional profits.

	Case
A	B
Division X:
Capacity in units	108,000	108,000
Number of units being sold to outside customers	108,000	91,000
Selling price per unit to outside customers	$ 54	$ 33
Variable costs per unit	$ 29	$ 19
Fixed costs per unit (based on capacity)	$ 9	$ 5
Division Y:
Number of units needed for production	17,000	17,000
Purchase price per unit now being paid to an outside supplier	$ 46	$ 38

Required:

1. Refer to the data in case A above. Assume in this case $2 per unit in variable selling costs can be avoided on intracompany sales.
