The company has an offer from Lans Levers to produce the part for $700 per unit and is able to supply the 600 levers needed in the coming year. If the company accepts this offer and shuts down production of levers, supervisors will be reassigned to other areas needing their services. The equipment cannot be used elsewhere in the company, and it has no market value. However, the space occupied by the production of the lever can be used by another production group that is currently leasing space for $21,000 per year. Should the company should make or buy the lever? Why?
