Oriole Bicycle Company manufactures its own seats for its bicycles. The company is currently operating at $100\%$

capacity. Variable manufacturing overhead is charged to production at the rate of $60\%$ of direct labor cost. The direct

materials and direct labor cost per unit to make the bicycle seats are $$8$ and $$9,$ respectively. Normal production is

$55,000$ bicycles per year.

A supplier offers to make the bicycle seats at a price of $$21$ each. If the bicycle company accepts this offer, all variable

manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the $$33,000$ of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to

the bicycle seats will have to be absorbed by other products.
