Washburn Associates has two divisions. Western Division, which has an investment base of $50,000,000,$ produces and sells $1,505,000$ units of a product at a market price of $$81$ per unit. Its variable costs total $$46$ per unit. The division also charges each unit $$20$ of fixed costs based on a capacity of $1,605,000$ units.

Eastern Division wants to purchase $252,500$ units from Western. However, it is willing to pay only $$61$ per unit because it has an opportunity to accept a special order at a reduced price. The order is economically justifiable only if Eastern can acquire Western$$s output at a reduced price.
