* Question Completion Status: QUESTION 8 The Dubs Division of Fast Company (the parent company) produces wheels for off-road sport vehicles. Dubs is currently operating below its capacity of 4,000 units and in the next year expects to produce and sell 1,000 units each of its two products, Pl and P2. Dubs manufactures wheel (lug) nuts, a set of these items (20 pieces per set) is a component part used in each of its products. A supplier has offered to sell Dubs the 2,000 sets of wheel nuts it would require for $25.07 per set. The accounting records for Dubs assigns the following costs to the manufacture of one wheel nut set: Direct Materials $9.00 Direct Labor $1.00 Variable Mig. OH $3.00 At the current level of capacity, annual fixed manufacturing costs traceable to the production of wheel nuts amount to $40,000 per year in total and mostly relate to rented machinery. What is the total amount Dubs would save per year by accepting the supplier's offer? Round your solution to the nearest $1.00. If it would be more expensive to buy from the supplier express your answer as a negative number such as -2000
