Scents is a perfume manufacturer. The company is considering the manufacture of a new product called Aroma. The accounting department has developed the following estimate of cost, based on expected production of volume of 100,000 bottles:

total labor, material, variable overhead cost: $2/bottle

total fixed cost: $150,000

It is possible for Scents to buy the bottles rather than make them. Another cosmetics manufacturer has indicated that it would be willing to sell the tubes to Scents at a price of 3 dollar per bottle.
