Accounting

X Company is considering buying a part next year that they currently make. This year's production costs for 3,100 units were as follows:

Per-Unit Total
Direct materials $3.70 $10,444
Direct labor 3.00 8,971
Variable overhead 2.10 8,610
Fixed overhead 4.90 17,290
Total $14.91 $46,321

A company has offered to supply this part to X Company for $14.20 per unit. If X Company accepts the offer, it will still incur fixed costs of $9,657, but it will be able to lease the resources that will become available from not making the part for $2,100. At what production level would X Company be indifferent between making and buying the part next year?
