Bria Furniture sells bed frames and mattresses. One of its products is a premium therapeutic bed set
produced by OmniSleep, which comes with a mattress and a bed frame. Bria offers a package
consisting of the mattress, the frame, and on-site installation by its staff. All of these components can
be sold separately, as often done by other vendors, so Bria concludes that these are separate
performance obligations. Bria sells the OmniSleep package for $3,000. The mattress and the frame
are sold separately for $2,000 and $900, respectively. Other vendors in the same area typically
charge $200 for on-site installation. Bria does not sell on-site installation separately. On average, the
prices charged by Bria are 10% higher than those of its competitors. Bria estimates that it incurs about
$100 of compensation and other costs to provide the installation service. The profit margin over cost
is estimated to be approximately 35%.

The Cycle Division of Culver Company has the following unit data related to its most recent cycle, the Roadster. Presently, the Cycle Division buys its body frames from an outside supplier. However Culver has another division, FrameBody, that makes body frames for other cycle companies. The Cycle Division believes that FrameBody's product is suitable for its new Roadster cycle. Presently, FrameBody sells its frames for $406 per frame. The variable cost for FrameBody is $306. The Cycle Division is willing to pay $314 to purchase the frames from FrameBody.
(b) Assume that FrameBody does NOT have excess capacity and therefore would lose sales if the frames were sold to the Cycle Division. If the Cycle Division buys 1,160 frames from FrameBody, determine the following:
(1) Effect on the income of the Cycle Division
(2) Effect on the income of FrameBody
(3) Effect on the income of Culver
