Assume that direct fixedSG&A expenses relate directly to the shake makers line and could be completely eliminated ifthe shake maker product line is dropped.Additionally, if the shake maker is outsourced, the company would have idle capacity and couldproduce and sell an additional 150,000 bowls (for the same selling price of $2 per bowl).Question: What is the maximum amount MI should pay for the shake maker from anindependent supplier (price per unit) to be no worse off financially?
