Tish Corporation produces a part used in the manufacture of one of its products. The unit product cost is $26, computed as follows: An outside supplier has offered to provide the annual requirement of 5,000 of the parts for only $21 each. The company estimates that 75% of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost above could be eliminated if the parts are purchased from the outside supplier.
