Han Products manufactures 27,000 units of part S-6 each year for use on its production line. At this level of activity, the cost per unit for part S-6 is as follows:

Direct materials	$4.40
Direct labor	6.00
Variable manufacturing overhead	3.90
Fixed manufacturing overhead	15.00
Total cost per part	$29.30

An outside supplier has offered to sell 27,000 units of part S-6 each year to Han Products for $26.50 per part. If Han Products accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to manufacture part S-6 could be rented to another company at an annual rental of $88,000. However, Han Products has determined that two-thirds of the fixed manufacturing overhead being applied to part S-6 would continue even if part S-6 were purchased from the outside supplier.
