Another company has offered to sell Opti Systems the switch for $13.80 per unit. Opti Systems prepared an outsourcing decision analysis to show the cost per unit of making the switches versus the cost per unit of buying (outsourcing) the switches. (Click the icon to view the outsourcing decision analysis.) Opti Systems needs 81,000 optical switches next year (assume same relevant range). By outsourcing them, Opti Systems can use its idle facilities to manufacture another product that will contribute $240,000 to operating income, but none of the fixed costs will be avoidable.
