Answer 1

Answer:

The minimum price is $960 per unit

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The Engine Division, currently operating at capacity, has a unit sales price of $2,550 and unit variable costs and fixed costs of $1,050 and $750, respectively. The Production Division is currently paying $2,400 per unit to an outside supplier. $90 per unit can be saved on internal sales from reduced selling expenses.

Because there is unused capacity, we will no have into account the fixed costs.

Variable cost= 1,050 - 90= $960

The minimum price is $960
