The Cycle Division of Ayala Company has the following per unit data related to its most recent cycle called Roadbuster.

Selling price $2,210
Variable cost of goods sold
Body frame $305
Other variable costs 904 1,209
Contribution margin $1,001

Presently, the Cycle Division buys its body frames from an outside supplier. However Ayala has another division, FrameBody, that makes body frames for other cycle companies. The Cycle Division believes that FrameBody's product is suitable for its new Roadbuster cycle. Presently, FrameBody sells its frames for $352 per frame. The variable cost for FrameBody is $262. The Cycle Division is willing to pay $275 to purchase the frames from FrameBody.

Assume that FrameBody has excess capacity and is able to meet all of the Cycle Division's needs. If the Cycle Division buys 1,050 frames from FrameBody, determine the following:

(1) Effect on the income of the Cycle Division
(2) Effect on the income of FrameBody

There will be an increase in the net income of $30 per unit and  $ 1082550-$ 1051050= $ 31,500  for 1050 units if Ayala Company buys body frame from Frame Body.

There will be a loss of $ 90-13= $ 77 per unit and $ 77 * 1050= $ 80,850 if Frame body sells its body frames to Ayala for $ 275 instead of $ 352.
