The company's Machine Division has asked the Parts Division to provide it with 6,000 special parts each year. The special parts would require $21 per unit in variable production costs. The Machine Division has a bid from an outside supplier for the special parts at $31.20 per unit.

Production and sales of the QR4 would drop by 5% if the new special part is produced for the Machine Division.…
