The Micro Division of Silicon Computers produces computer chips that are sold to the Personal Computer Division and to outsiders. Operating data for the Micro Division are as follows:

Sales: 300,000 chips at $10   $3,000,000
200,000 chips at $12       $2,400,000
Variable expenses at $4   1,200,000   800,000

Fixed cost (allocated on units)   1,500,000    1,000,000
Operating income   $300,000   $600,000

The Personal Computer Division has just received an offer from an outside supplier to furnish chips at $8.60 each. The manager of Micro Division is not willing to meet the $8.60 price. She argues that it costs her $9.00 to produce and sell each chip. Sales to outside customers are at a maximum of 200,000 chips.

Required:
a.   Verify the Micro Division's $9.00 unit cost figure.

c.   Prepare a Micro Division income statement for the sale to the Personal Computer Division assuming that the unit selling price of $8.60 is agreed. Comment on the allocation of fixed costs.
