Clearview Window Company
manufactures windows for the home-building industry. The window frames are
produced in the Frame Division. The frames are then transferred to the Glass
Division, where the glass and hardware are installed. The company’s
best-selling product is a three-by-four-foot, doublepaned operable window.
|
The Frame
Division also can sell frames directly to custom home builders, who install
the glass and hardware. The sales price for a frame is $80. The Glass
Division sells its finished windows for $190. The markets for both frames and
finished windows exhibit perfect competition.

The
standard variable cost of the window is detailed as follows:
