$25,000,000 at the normal volume of 5,000 units.
The blue car division has been unable to meet the demand for its cars this year. It has offered
to buy 1,000 cars from the red car division at the full cost of $16,000. The red car division has
excess capacity and the 1,000 units can be produced without interfering with the outside sales
of 5,000. The 6,000 volume is within the divisions relevant operating range.
Explain whether the red car division should accept the offer. Support your decision showing all
calculations. (Points : 25)
