An outside supplier has offered to sell 15,000 units of part A8 each year to Bernard Company for $15.00 per part. If Bernard Company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to manufacture A8 could be rented to another company at an annual rental of $80,000. However, Bernard Company has determined that $3.50 of fixed manufacturing overhead allocated to part A8 would continue even if part A8 were purchased from an outside supplier. Bernard's direct manufacturing labor consists of temporary help. Thus, Bernard can hire and dismiss hose workers at will.
