Materials used by Best Bread Company in producing Division A's product are currently purchased from outside suppliers at a cost of $30 per unit.

(b) Assuming transfer price of $25 per unit is established and 60,000 units of material are transferred, with no reductions in Division B's current sales, how much would the income from operations of Division A increase?
(c) Assuming transfer price of $25 per unit is established and 60,000 units of material are transferred, with no reductions in Division B's current sales, how much would the income from operations of Division B increase?
