Sanchez Semiconductors produces 200,000 high-tech computer chips per month. Each chip uses a component that Sanchez makes in-house. The variable costs to make the component are $1.20 per unit, and the fixed costs are $1,200,000 per month. The company has been approached by a foreign producer who can supply the component, within acceptable quality standards, for $1.00 each.
