a manufacturer has identified the following options for obtaining a machined part: It can buy the part at $200 per unit (including materials); it can make the part on a numerically controlled machine at 65$ per unit (including materials); or it can make the part on machining center at $17 per unit (including materials). There is negligble fixed cost if the item is purchased, a numerically controlled machine costs $124,000, and a machining center costs $217,000.
