Payne Co. sells shoes which are made in the USA. Current data for the last month was as follows:
- Average Selling Price $65
- Variable Cost Per Unit $35
- Monthly Fixed Costs $75,000
- Units Sold 5,000
Payne has an opportunity to shift production overseas. The overseas manufacturer would charge a monthly charge of $50,000 to make all of the shoes thus lowering the variable costs to the commissions of 10% of sales. Payne would still have the fixed costs listed above as well as the new manufacturing fixed costs.
