The Fox Time Travel (Fox TT) company sells flux capacitors to time machine manufacturers. This year Fox TT is on track to sell 12,500 units. They are forecasting a 25% increase for the following year.  They currently outsource a circuit board to an outside manufacturer, Biff Electronics, who charges Fox TT $15,000 per year for system maintenance and upkeep. They sell each of the circuit boards to Fox TT for $25.00 each with an additional charge of $1.00 per unit for transportation. Fox TT is thinking about making these circuit boards in-house. They have researched the costs and found the following: Machines cost $125,000, floor reinforcement and machine installations will cost $10,000, and start-up costs will be $5,000. Fox TT can produce this circuit board at a labor cost of  $3.00 per unit and raw materials cost of $15.00 per unit.
