100%
Airflow Inc. produces ceiling fans for home and industrial use. The parts for the different styles of fans are produced and sold by the
Parts Division to the Assembly Division of Airflow Inc. The cost to the Parts Division is $12 per fan. The Assembly Division assembles
the purchased parts into finished fans at a cost of $6 per unit and sells the assembled product to an outside wholesaler for $25 per
unit. Due to the proprietary technology used to make the Airflow fans operate particularly quietly, the Parts Division is not allowed to
sell the parts it produces to external customers. Both divisions have some idle capacity. The managers of both divisions are evaluated
based on the profitability of their divisions.
Required:
1. What is the profit per unit of the two divisions if the transfer price is $15 per unit?
Profit per unit
Parts Division
Assembly Division
2. What is the profit per unit of the two divisions if the transfer price is $12 per unit? (Do not leave any empty spaces; input a O
wherever it is required.)
