The Appliance Division$$s manager believes sales can be increased if the price of the refrigerator is reduced. A market research study by an independent firm indicates that $8$ percent reduction in the selling price would increase sales volume by $20$ percent.

The Appliance Division has sufficient production capacity to manage this increased volume with no increase in fixed costs. Currently, the Appliance Division uses a compressor which it purchases from an outside supplier. The Appliance Division has asked the Compressor Division about selling compressor to the Appliance Division.

The Compressor Division manufactures and sells to outside firms a compressor that is similar to the compressor used by the Appliance Division. The specification of the Appliance Division$$s compressor is slightly different, which would reduce the Compressor Division$$s direct material cost by $$4\mathrm{.}00$ per unit. In addition, the Compressor Division would not incur any variable selling costs in the units sold to the Appliance Division. The manager of the Appliance Division wants all the compressors it uses to come from one supplier and has offered to pay $$45$ for each compressor unit
