T-comm makes a variety of products. it is organized in two divisions, north and south. the managers for each division are paid, in part, based on the financial performance of their divisions. the south division normally sells to outside customers but, on occasion, also sells to the north division. when it does, corporate policy states that the price must be cost plus 20 percent to ensure a "fair" return to the selling division. south received an order from north for 300 units. south's planned output for the year had been 1,200 units before north's order. south's capacity is 1,500 units per year. the costs for producing those 1,200 units follow

    Total Per Unit

    Materials $155,200 $96

    Direct labor $57,600 $48

    Other costs varying with output $34,800 $29

    Fixed costs $540,000 $450

    Total costs $747,600 $623

    Since South is going to increase its production by 300 more units to be able to sell them to North, that would change the average fixed cost per unit = $540,000 / 1,500 units = $360 per unit.

    Therefore the total cost per unit = $96 + $48 + $29 + $360 = $533 (instead of $623).

    Since South charges its sales to North a 20% margin, the selling price per unit should = $533 x 120% = $639.60 and the total invoice for the 300 units = $639.60 per unit x 300 units = $191,880
