MSI is considering outsourcing the production of the handheld control module used with some of its products. The company has received a bid from Monte Legend Co. (MLC) to produce 10,000 units of the module per year for $16 each. The following information pertains to MSI’s production of the control modules: Direct materials $9Direct labor $4Variable manufacturing overhead $2Fixed manufacturing overhead $3Total cost per unit $18
