Hi John!
Oxco has two divisions, A and B. Division A makes a component for air conditioning units
which it can only sell to Division B. It has no other outlet for sales.
Current information relating to Division A is as follows:
Marginal cost per unit $100
Transfer price of the component $165
Total production and sales of the component each year 2,200 units
Specific fixed costs of Division A per year $10,000
Cold Co has offered to sell the component to Division B for $140 per unit. If Division B
accepts this offer, Division A will be shut.
If Division B accepts Cold Co’s offer, what will be the impact on profits per year for the
group as a whole?1. The answer is Decrease of $78,000.
2. How to obtain the answer?

It will cost the group an extra $40 (140 – 100) per component. They will save the specific fixed costs of $10,000.
