Now suppose that the Western Division has an opportunity to use its excess capacity to produce 15,000 headbands. If it makes these, then it cannot make any socks for the Eastern Division without giving up some of its (highly profitable) external sock business. Western’s incremental (variable) cost of producing and selling headbands is $3.65 per unit, and they are sold to external customers for $5.25 per unit. If the transfer price for socks remains at $4.00, then which product will the Western Division want to make in order to maximize its own profit?

Use the following information for the next five questions.  Clothes, Inc., has an average annual demand for medium polo shirts of 18,000 units. The cost of placing an order is $90 and the cost of carrying one unit in inventory for one year is $25. The stockout cost is $5 per unit. The purchase-order lead time is 6 days. We assume there are 360 days per year. Demand for every 6 days may vary with the following probability distribution:                                                                                                             Demand for 6 days: 240 units 270 units 300 units 330 units 360 units Probability (sums to 1.00): 0.15 0.2 0.3 0.2 0.15
