Use the following to answer questions 1-3: Durham Corporation has a Motor Division that produces motors of various types. The company's Machine Products Division has asked the Motor Division to provide it with 20,000 special motors each year on a continuing basis. The special motors would require $100 per unit in variable production costs. The Machine Products Division has a bid from an outside supplier of S119 per unit for the motors. In order to have time and space to produce the new motors, the Motor Division would have to cut back production of another motor, the RX100, which it presently is producing.
