T-Comm makes a variety of products. It is organized in two divisions, North and South. South Division normally sells to outside customers but, on occasion, also sells to the North Division. When it does, corporate policy states that the price must be cost plus 20 percent to ensure a “fair” return to the selling division. South received an order from North Division for 300 units. South’s planned output for the year had been 1,200 units before North’s order. South’s capacity is 1,500 units per year. The costs for producing those 1,200 units follow:

T-Comm makes a variety of products. It is organized in two divisions, North and South. South Division normally sells to outside customers but, on occasion, also sells to the North Division. When it does, corporate policy states that the price must be cost plus 20 percent to ensure a “fair” return to the selling division. South received an order from North Division for 300 units. South’s planned output for the year had been 1,200 units before North’s order. South’s capacity is 1,500 units per year. The costs for producing those 1,200 units follow:

	Total			Per Unit
Materials	$	116,400		$	97
Direct labor		60,000			50
Other costs varying with output		44,400			37
Fixed costs		516,000			430
Total costs	$	736,800		$	614

Based on these data, South's controller calculated that the unit price for North's order should be $736.8 (= $614 × 120 percent). After producing and shipping the 300 units, South's sent an invoice for $221,040. Shortly thereafter, West received a note from the buyer at North's stating that this invoice was not in accordance with company policy. The unit cost should have been

Materials	$	97
Direct labor		50
Other costs varying with output		37
Total	$	184

The price per unit would be $220.8 (= $184 × 120 percent).

Required:

What is the total price for 300 units of products that should be charged by South Division under the following options for considering the cost basis of units? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Options:

A.	Use the full per unit cost for normal production of 1,200 units
B.	Use only differential costs as the cost basis.
C.	Use differential costs plus a share of fixed costs, based on actual production volume (with North's order) of 1,500 units.

Explanation:

Costs				Unit Cost Options:
				A			B			C
Direct materials (variable)	$	97		$	97		$	97		$	97
Direct Labor (variable)		50			50			50			50
Other variable costs		37			37			37			37
Fixed costs		516,000			430	a		N/A			344	b
Per unit cost				$	614		$	184		$	528
Cost plus 20%					736.80			220.80			633.60
Total price (300 units)				$	221,040		$	66,240		$	190,080

a	$430 = $516,000÷ 1,200 units.
b	$344 = $516,000 ÷ 1,500 units.
