Question

Andretti Company has a single product called a Dak. The company normally produces and sells 86,000 Daks each year at a selling price of $48 per unit. The company's unit costs at this level of activity are given below: A number of questions relating to the production and sale of Daks follow. Each question is independent. Assume that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 111,800 Daks each year without any An outside manufacturer has offered to produce Daks and ship them directly to Andretti's customers. If Andretti Company accepts this offer, the facilities that it uses to produce Daks would be idle; however, fixed manufacturing overhead costs would be reduced by 30%. Because the outside manufacturer would pay for all shipping costs, the variable selling expenses would be only two-thirds of their present amount. Compute the unit cost that is relevant for comparison to the price quoted by the outside manufacturer. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
