Riu Corporation has a Parts Division that does work for other Divisions in the company as well as for outside customers.The company's Repair Division has asked the Parts Division to provide it with 2,000 special parts each year.The special parts would require $17.00 per unit in variable production costs.The Repair Division has a bid from an outside supplier for the special parts at $28.00 per unit.In order to have time and space to produce the special part,the Parts Division would have to cut back production of another part-the B83 that it presently is producing.The B83 sells for $34.00 per unit,and requires $22.00 per unit in variable production costs.Packaging and shipping costs of the B83 are $4.00 per unit.Packaging and shipping costs for the new special part would be only $0.50 per unit.The Parts Division is now producing and selling 10,000 units of the B83 each year.Production and sales of the B83 would drop by 10% if the new special part is produced for the Repair Division.
Required:
