Macon Motor Works has just acquired a new Battery Division. The Battery Division
produces a standard 12-volt battery that it sells to retail outlets at a competitive price of
$20. The retail outlets purchase about 800,000 batteries a year. Since the Battery Division
15-100
has a capacity of 1,000,000 batteries a year, top management is thinking that it might be
wise for the company’s Automotive Division to start purchasing batteries from the newly
acquired Battery Division.
The Automotive Division now purchases 300,000 batteries a year from an outside
supplier, at a price of $18 per battery. The discount from the competitive $20 price is a
result of the large quantity purchased.
The Battery Division’s cost per battery is shown below:
Direct materials
