The Air Comfort Division manufactures and sells air-conditioner units. The coming year's budgeted income statement, which follows, is based upon a sales volume of 16,000 units. Total $6,432 AIR COMFORT DIVISION Budgeted Income Statement (In thousands) Per Unit Sales revenue $402 Manufacturing costs: Compressor $ 77 Other direct material 28 Direct labor 39 Variable overhead 35 Fixed overhead 26 Total manufacturing costs $205 Gross margin $197 Operating expenses: Variable selling $ 27 Fixed selling 21 Fixed administrative 27 Total operating expenses $ 75 Net income before taxes $122 $1,232 448 624 560 416 $3,280 $3,152 $ $ 432 336 432 $1,200 $1,952 Air Comfort's division manager believes sales can be increased if the price of the air-conditioners is reduced. A market research study by an independent firm indicates that a 6 percent reduction in the selling price would increase sales volume 20 percent, or 3,200 units. The division has sufficient production capacity to manage this increased volume with no increase in fixed costs. The Air Comfort Division uses a compressor in its units, which it purchases from an outside supplier at a cost of $77 per compressor. The Air Comfort Division manager has asked the manager of the Compressor Division about selling compressor units to Air Comfort. The Compressor Division currently manufactures and sells a unit to outside firms that is similar to the unit used by the Air Comfort Division. The specifications of the Air Comfort Division compressor are slightly different, which would reduce the Compressor Division's direct material cost by $3.20 per unit. In addition, the Compressor Division would not incur any variable selling costs in the units sold to the Air Comfort Division. The manager of the Air Comfort Division wants all of the compressors it uses to come from one supplier and has offered to pay $47 for each compressor unit. The Compressor Division has the capacity to produce 75,000 units. Its budgeted income statement for the coming year, which follows, is based on a sales volume of 64.000 units without considering Air Comfort's proposal.
