Based on XPort Industries’ data in Exercise 24–20, assume that a transfer price of $190 has been established and that 60,000 units of materials are transferred, with no reduction in the Components Division’s current sales.

a. How much would XPort Industries’ total income from operations increase?
b. How much would the Instrument Division’s income from operations increase?
c. How much would the Components Division’s income from operations increase?
