The Green Division of Ecology Solutions Co. has developed a wind generator that
requires a special “S” ball bearing. The Ball Bearing Division of Ecology Solutions Co.
has the capability to produce such a ball bearing.
Unfortunately, the Ball Bearing Division is operating at capacity and will need to
reduce production of another existing product, the “T” bearing, by 1,000 units per
month to provide the 600 “S” bearings needed each month by the Green Division. The
“T” bearing currently sells for $50 per unit. Variable costs incurred to produce the “T”
bearing are $30 per unit; variable costs to produce the new “S” bearing would be $60
per unit.
The Green Division has found an external supplier that would furnish the needed “S”
bearings at $100 per unit. Assume that both the Green Division and Ball Bearing
Division are independent, autonomous investment centers.
Refer to Ecology Solutions Co. What factors besides price would Green Division want
to consider in deciding where it will purchase the bearing?

Bridges Industries manufactures wood furniture. In the Lamination Department, varnish
is added when the goods are 60 percent complete as to overhead. The units that are
spoiled during processing are found upon inspection at the end of production. Spoilage
is considered discrete.
All other units were transferred to finished goods
