Sunland Inc. manufactures wood poles. Sunland Inc. has two responsibility centres, harvesting and sawing, which are both
evaluated as profit centres. The harvesting division does all the harvesting operations and transfers logs to the sawing division,
which converts the wood into poles for external clients. When operating at full capacity, the sawing division can convert 13,800
poles. Management is considering replacing this type of wood pole with another type of wood pole that can be sold at a lower price
and could allow the firm to operate at full capacity all the time.
The director of the sawing division suggested that the maximum price the division can pay for each log from harvesting is $30.80.
Following is the information that supports this suggestion:
Price per pole that the client would pay
Direct labour costs
Variable overhead costs
Fixed overhead costs
Raw material costs (other than logs)
Profit margin
