Federated Manufacturing, Inc. (FMI) produces electronic components in three divisions: industrial, commercial, and consumer products. The commercial products division annually purchases 10,000 units of part 23-6711, which the industrial division produces for use in manufacturing one of its own products. The commercial division is growing rapidly due to rapid growth in its markets. The commercial division is expanding its production and now wants to increase its purchases of part 23-6711, to 15,000 units per year. The problem is that the industrial division is at full capacity. No new investment in the industrial division has been made for some years because top management sess little future growth in its products, so its capacity is unlikely to increase soon.
The commercial division can buy part 23–6711 from Advanced Micro Inc. or from Admiral Electric, a customer of the industrial division now purchasing 650 units of part 88–461. The industrial division's sales to Admiral would not be affected by the commercial division’s decision part 23–6711.
Industrial Division:
Data on part 23–6711:
Price to commercial division $185
Variable manufacturing costs 155
Price to outside buyers 205
Data on part 88–461:
Variable manufacturing costs $65
Sales price 95
Other Suppliers of Part 23–6711:
Advance Micro Inc., price $200
Admiral Electric, price 210
Required:
1. What is the proper decision regarding where the commercial division should purchase the additional 5,000 parts, and what is the correct transfer price?
2. Assume that the industrial division’s sales to Admiral will be canceled if the commercial division does not buy from Admiral. What would be the unit cost to FMI in this case, and would the desired transfer price change?

Who is better at multi-tasking? in business, employees are often asked to perform a complex task when their atten-tion is divided (i. e., multi-tasking). human factors (may 2014) published a study designed to determine whether video game players are better than non–video game play-ers at multi-tasking. each in a sample of 60 college stu-dents was classified as a video game player or a non-player. participants entered a street crossing simulator and were asked to cross a busy street at an unsigned intersec-tion. the simulator was designed to have cars traveling at various high rates of speed in both directions. during the crossing, the students also performed a memory task as a distraction. two variables were measured for each student: (1) a street crossing performance score (measured out of 100 points) and (2) a memory task score (measured out of 20 points). the researchers found no differences in either the street crossing performance or memory task score of video game players and non-gamers. “these results,” say the researchers, “suggest that action video game players [and non-gamers] are equally susceptible to the costs of dividing attention in a complex task”
