JasNav Inc. has two divisions, the Electronics Division and the Sub-Assembly Division.
The Electronics Division manufactures circuit boards for electronic components. One of the parts it manufactures is circuit board CB136, which has a selling price of $40 on the market. The part has a variable unit cost of $26 and a fixed cost of $8 per unit based on full use of capacity. It is currently producing and selling 350,000 units of its 450,000 unit capacity to customers outside of JasNav.
The Sub-Assembly Division manufactures electronic components used in automotive parts. One of its components, the SR20, includes a circuit board that is similar to the CB136.
Currently, the division buys circuit boards from outside suppliers at a cost of $35 per unit. In the manufacture of SR20, the Sub-Assembly Division adds an additional $18 of variable costs, applies $7 of fixed costs and sells the completed component for $75. If a transfer took place between divisions, the Sub-Assembly Division could use 100,000 units of part CB136 and would also continue to add the additional variable costs.
