Problem - Skater Limited is a company that develops, manufactures and sells ice skates. The company has the following divisions within its group structure:

Product development - this division is responsible for research and development of new ice skates.

Sales & distribution (domestic) - this division is responsible for all domestic sales and is responsible for generating 95% of the company's revenue.

Sales & distribution (international) - this division is responsible for all domestic sales and is responsible for generating the remaining 5% of the company's revenue.

Administration - this division includes all support functions, such as HR, IT and accounting. Apart from a small amount of investment income this division does not generate any revenue.
