Alexandria semiconductors produces 300000 hi-tech computer

Reference no: EM13605121

Alexandria Semiconductors produces 300,000 hi-tech computer chips per month. Each chip uses a component which Alexandria makes in house. The variable costs to make the component are $0.80 per unit, and the fixed costs run $956,000 per month.Alexandria has been approached by a foreign producer who can supply the component, ready made and with acceptable quality standards for $0.60 each. The fixed costs are unavoidable, and Alexandria would have no other use for the facilities currently employed in making the component. If Alexandria decides to outsource, how would that affect the operating income?
