- DBS is also expecting the demand for its top-of-the range devices to increase further from the next year. Given the increase in annual requirement, the production manager is contemplating to start manufacturing the special components in-house to save costs rather than sourcing them from outside. Given the current purchase price of $9000 per unit, what will the average annual requirement need to be in order to justify making the components in-house if the variable cost of making is $6750 per unit and an upfront fixed cost of $55,000,000 is needed to procure the necessary plant and equipment? However, in the event that the expected increase in demand does not materialize and the demand is actually forecast to drop to 20,000 units next year, then what will be the maximum price per unit that DBS would be willing to pay to the supplier in order to continue buying from them?
