Bacrometer, Inc., makes part no. 566 on one of its production lines. Each month Bacrometer makes 5,000 of part no. 566 at a variable cost of $2 per part. The monthly fixed costs for the production line are $20,000, or $4 per part. Bacrometer has been provided a bid for part no. 566 from another manufacturer that will make the part for $3 per part. Bacrometer knows the production line could be rented to another manufacturer for $6,000 per month. Should Bacrometer continue to make part no. 566 or should it buy the part and rent the production line?
