Decision-making

XYZ Company manufactures plugs at a cost of $36 per unit, which includes $8 of fixed overhead. XYZ needs 30,000 of these plugs annually (as part of a larger product it produces). ABC Company has offered to sell these units to Regis at $33 per unit. If XYZ decides to purchase the plugs, $60,000 of the annual fixed overhead cost will be eliminated, and the company may be able to rent the facility previously used for manufacturing the plugs.
