Answer the following questions using the information below:
Plish Company manufactures only one type of washing machine and has two divisions, the Compressor Division, and the Fabrication Division.

The Compressor Division "sells" compressors to the Fabrication Division. The market price for the Fabrication Division to purchase a compressor is $40.00. (Ignore changes in inventory.) The fixed costs for the Compressor Division are assumed to be the same over the range of 5,000-10,000 units.
