Question

The southern division of Pryto Corporation uses a part much like Part D in one of its products. The southern division can buy this part from an outside supplier for $78.25 per unit. However, the southern division could use Part D instead of this part that it purchases from outside suppliers. What's the most that the southern division would be willing to pay the western division for Product D

Answer 1

Answer: $78.25

Explanation:

The Southern Division is willing to pay $78.25 to an outside company for this part that it needs.

In the same vein, the maximum therefore that they would be willing to pay for the Western Division should be $78.25 as well because anything higher than that would constitute an Opportunity Cost loss.

They should go for the cheaper option and if buying from the Western Division exceeds the $78.25 then it is loss on their part. Western Division should charge the same or less.
