Maryland Manufacturing (M2) produces a part using an expensive proprietary machine that can only be leased. The leasing company offers two contracts. The first (unit-rate lease) is one where M2 would pay $20 per unit produced, regardless of the number of units. The second lease option (flat-rate lease) is one where M2 would pay $432,000 annually, regardless of the number produced. The lease will run one year and the lease option chosen cannot be changed during the lease. All other lease terms are the same.
M2 sells the part for $200 per unit and unit variable cost (excluding any machine lease costs) are $100. Annual fixed costs (excluding any machine lease costs) are $1,440,000.
