The demand for AccuDriver is relatively insensitive to price changes. The following data are available for Golf Technology, which is an investment center for Sports Equipment:

Total annual fixed costs ...............................$26,000,000

Variable cost per AccuDriver .................................$ 600

Number of AccuDrivers sold each year ...................170,000

Average operating assets invested in the division ...$46,000,000

Required
