	Cost per Unit
Variable costs
Direct material	$900
Direct labor	600
Variable overhead	300

The company has an offer from Duvall Valves to produce the part for $2,000 per unit and supply 1,000 valves (the number needed in the coming year). If the company accepts this offer and shuts down production of valves, production workers and supervisors will be reassigned to other areas.
