A retail company is evaluating whether to outsource its product distribution to a third$-$

party logistics provider. The fixed costs of maintaining its own distribution network

amount to $$300,000$ per year, while the variable cost per unit shipped is $$4.$ The logistics

provider offers to handle the distribution for $$6$ per unit shipped. Calculate the

breakeven point between outsourcing and maintaining their own distribution. If they

need to distribute $1$ unit more than that number, is it cheaper to do it themselves or

outsource it$?$
