2. The Company currently manufactures a silk fabric that it uses in several of its products. Management is considering whether to continue manufacturing the fabric itself or purchase the fabric from a third party. - The Company requires 80,000 pieces of fabric per year for its products. The fabric can be purchased from a supplier for $4.80 per unit. - The Company's costs of manufacturing the fabric are $7.50 per unit, computed as follows: - If the manufacturing process is discontinued, all of the direct materials and direct labor costs will be eliminated, but only 60% of the variable manufacturing overhead costs will be eliminated. - If the manufacturing process is discontinued, certain machinery used in the production process will no longer have to be leased. As such, $9,200 of fixed overhead costs would be eliminated. Should the Company continue to make this product or instead buy from a third party?
