    (a) $33750000 (b) $11250000 (c) $22500000

    Explanation:

    Solution

    (a) How much would Ziegler Inc. total income of operating increase.

    Now,

    Units * (Cost of purchased from outside supplier - Variable cost)

    Thus,

    75000 * ($1350 - $900) = $33750000

    (b) How much would the Instrument Division's operating income increase

    Now,

    The Units * (Cost of purchased from outside supplier - Transfer Price)

    So,

    75000 units * ($1350 - $1200) = $11250000

    (C) How much would the Components Division's operating income increase?

    Now,

    Units * (Transfer Price - Variable cost)

    75000 units * ($1200 - $900) = $22500000
