Assume a company has two divisions, Division A and Division B. Division A has provided the following information regarding the one product that it manufactures and sells on the outside market:

Selling price per unit (on the outside market) $ 75
Variable cost per unit $ 59

Division B could use Division A’s product as a component part in the manufacture of 4,000 units of its own newly-designed product. Division B has received a quote of $58 from an outside supplier for a component part that is comparable to the one that Division A makes.
