Question

The fastener division of Northern Textile Industries manufactures zippers and then sells them to customers for $7.44 per unit. Its variable cost is $3.30 per unit, and its fixed cost per unit is $1.66. Management would like the fastener division to transfer 12,070 of these zippers to another division within the company at a price of $3.30. The fastener division could avoid $0.24 per zipper of variable packaging costs by selling internally.
