| In-house: Annual Fixed Cost, FIN = $80000 |
| | Variable cost/unit, VIN = $10 |
| Out Source: |
| Annual Fixed Cost, FOU = $120,000 |
| | Variable cost/unit, VOU = $5 |
| Find: a) Break Even Annual Demand |
| b) If annual demand is 10,000 units which option would you recomment? Explain. |
| | | | |
| | At this demand level the total cost will be the same for both alternatives. |
| | If actual forecasted demand is greater than 5000 units, then outsourcing |
| | is cheaper. If the demand is less than 5000 units, it is cheaper to make |
| | in-house. |
