Another company has offered to sell BestSystems the switch for $14.50 per unit. If BestSystems buys the switch from the outside supplier, none of the fixed costs are avoidable. The company prepared an outsourcing decision analysis to show the cost per un of making the switches versus the cost per unit of buying (outsourcing) the switches.
