Alonzo Enterprises manufactures one of the components used to assemble its primary product. Specialty Parts has offered to sell Alonzo the component for $12.80 per unit. Alonzo currently produces 100,000 units of the component. The unit manufacturing cost is computed as follows:

DM Per Unit	$5.00
DL Per Unit	6.00
Variable MOH Per Unit	1.75
Fixed MOH Per Unit	2.00
Manufacturing cost per unit	$14.75

None of Alonzo's fixed costs will be eliminated if production of the component is outsourced. However, the freed up capacity could be used to build a different product, which is expected to generate $30,000 of contribution margin per year. Assume Alonzo still needs 100,000 units next year.
