Racer Industries is currently purchasing Part No.76 from an outside supplier for $81 per unit. Because of supplier reliability problems, the company is considering producing the part internally in an idle manufacturing expected to total 299,000 units at variable manufacturing costs of $76 per unit.
Racer must acquire $81,000 of new equipment if it reopens the plant. The equipment has a 6-year service life, a $14,100 salvage value, and will be depreciated by the straight-line method. Repairs and maintenance are expected to average $5,300 per year in years 4-6, and the equipment will be sold at the end of its life.
