Global Systems manufactures an optical switch that it uses in its final product. Global Systems incurred the following manufacturing costs when it produced 73,000 units last year. (Click the icon to view the manufacturing costs.) Global Systems does not yet know how many switches it will need this year, however, another company has offered to sell Global Systems the switch for $14.30 per unit. If Global Systems buys the switch from the outside supplier, the manufacturing facilities that become idle cannot be used for any other purpose, yet none of the fixed costs are avoidable.

Show your analysis. 2. Now, assume that Global Systems can avoid $82,000 of fixed costs a year by outsourcing production. In addition, because sales are increasing, Global Systems needs 78,000 switches a year rather than 73,000. What should Global Systems do now? 3.
