The Quark Division has an order from an overseas source for 5,200 HDTVs. The overseas source wants to pay only $398 per unit.

Required:

1. Assume the Quark Division has enough idle capacity to fill the 5,200-unit order. Is the division likely to accept the $398 price or to reject it?

2. Assume both the Screen Division and the Quark Division have idle capacity. Under these conditions, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a whole (on a per unit basis) if the Quark Division rejects the $398 price?

3. Assume the Quark Division has idle capacity but that the Screen Division is operating at capacity and could sell all of its screens to outside manufacturers. Under these conditions, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a whole (on a per unit basis) if the Quark Division accepts the $398 unit price.
