Londe Co. has two divisions, A and B. For one of the company's products, Division A produces a major subassembly and Division B incorporates this subassembly into the final product. There is a market for both the subassembly and the final product.
The following data is available:
Per unit
Estimated selling price for final product $400
Average market price for subassembly $300
Variable cost in Division A $200
Additional variable cost for completion in Division B $250
Question 1: Should transfers be made to Division B if there is no excess capacity in Division A (i.e., all subassemblies can be sold outside)?
Question 2: Assume Division A's production capacity is 7,000 units, but sales to the intermediate market cannot surpass 5,000 units. Should 2,000 units be produced and transferred to Division B?
