To have more control over its component parts, Sheridan Company has opted to manufacture the motors for its all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) in-house. There is enough capacity to manufacture more than Sheridan needs for its own vehicles, so the production department sells the motors externally as well. Because of its dual roles, the production department is considered a profit center. It can sell the motors externally for $337 each. Its variable production cost is $197 per unit, while its full absorption cost per unit is $244. What is the maximum price that the assembly division of Sheridan will pay for these motors? Maximum price $ What is the minimum selling price that the production department will accept for these motors? Minimum price $
