                      Division A Division B            Total Company

Sales              $3,813,000 *1 $4,224,000 * 2 $8,037,000 *3

Expenses:

Added by the division $2,275,500    $1,472,000    $3,747,500

Transfer price paid                          $1,190,400

Net operating income $1,537,500    $1,561,600        $4,289,500

* 1 20,500 units x $ 186 per unit = $ 3,813,000

* 2   6,400 units x $660 per unit = $ 4,224,000
