Jesper, Inc., has a number of divisions including a Furniture Division and a Motel Division. The Motel Division owns and operates a line of budget motels located along major highways. Each year, the Motel Division purchases furniture for the motel rooms. Currently, it purchases a basic dresser from an outside supplier for $42. Carrie Burnside, manager of the Furniture Division, has approached George Sanchez, manager of the Motel Division, about selling dressers to the Motel Divi- sion. Carrie has researched the dresser costs and determined the following costs:

Direct labor	4
Variable overhead	3
Fixed overhead	12
