Bullitt Corp. needs a make-or-buy decision for several of its products. For one product, the variable cost per part is $13.50. Fixed costs traceable to the part are $2,000, of which $1,000 is avoidable if the part is discontinued from production. Bullitt has allocated $2,500 of corporate overhead to the part. The current level of production is 1,000 units. An outside supplier will sell the part at a price of $15 per unit if 1,000 units are purchased.
