Lourdes Corporation has the capacity to make the 300 fans above their usual production needs.

An outside company has offered to supply the part for $45 a unit, plus a shipping charge of $2 a unit. The plant capacity now used by Alvarado to manufacture the part would not be used within the foreseeable future if the part is purchased outside. $\begin{array} { l r } \text { Direct Materials } & \$ 60,000 \\\text { Direct Labor } & 65,000 \\\text { Variable Overhead Costs } & 2,500 \\\text { Fixed Overhead Costs } & 5,000\end{array}$ Prepare an analysis comparing the unit cost of manufacturing the part with the unit cost of purchasing it. Based on the analysis, indicate the decision that should be made.
