The full cost of one pack of golf balls is $4.53. GI has received an offer from an outside supplier to supply any desired quantity of balls
at a price of $5.45 per pack of four golf balls. The cost accounting department has provided the following information:
a. The direct fixed manufacturing overhead is the cost of leasing the machine that stamps out the balls. The machine can produce a
maximum of 500,000 balls per year. If the balls are bought, the machine will no longer be needed.
b. No other costs will be affected.
