Question
Neely Systems Corporation manufactures and sells various high-tech office automation products. Two divisions of Neely Systems Corporation are the Computer Chip Division and the Computer Division. The Computer Chip Division manufactures one product, a "super chip," that can be used by both the Computer Division and other external customers. The following information is available on this month's operations in the Computer Chip Division:
Selling price per chip | $50 | |
Variable costs per chip | $20 | |
Fixed production costs | $60,000 | |
Fixed SG&A costs | $90,000 | |
Monthly capacity | 10,000 | chips |
External sales | 6,000 | chips |
Internal sales | 0 | chips |
Presently, the Computer Division purchases no chips from the Computer Chips Division, but instead pays $45 to an external supplier for the 4,000 chips it needs each month.
Refer to Neely Systems Corporation. Assume, for this question only, that the Computer Chip Division is selling all that it can produce to external buyers for $50 per unit. How would overall corporate profits be affected if it sells 4,000 units to the Computer Division at $45?
