$2-63$ Sheldon Radio manufactures yacht radios, navigational equipment, and depth$-$sounding and related equipment from a small plant near New Bern, North Carolina. One of Sheldon's most popular products, making up $40\%$ of its revenues and $35\%$ of its profits, is a marine radio, model VF$4500,$ which is installed on many of the new large boats produced in the United States. Production and sales average $500$ units per month. Sheldon has achieved its success in the market through excellent customer service and product reliability. The manufacturing process consists primarily of the assembly of components purchased from various electronics firms plus a small amount of metalworking and finishing. The assembly operations cost $$110$ per unit. The purchased parts cost Sheldon $$250,$ of which $$130$ is for parts that Sheldon could manufacture in its existing facility for $$80$ in materials for each unit plus an investment in labor and equipment that would cost $$35,000$ per month.

Sheldon is considering outsourcing the marketing, distributing, and servicing for its units to another North Carolina firm, Brashear Enterprises. This would save Sheldon $$125,000$ in monthly materials and labor costs. The cost of the contract would be $$105$ per radio. Required

$2.$ Should Sheldon $($a$)$ continue to purchase the parts or manufacture them and $($b$)$ continue to provide the marketing, distributing, and servicing or outsource these activities to Brashear? Explain your answer.
