    A) The outsourcing costs $18 more per unit. It increases the cost by $18000

    B) Price = $126

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Q = 10000 units

    In-house:

    Variable manufacturing cost = $110 unit

    Fixed cost = $40 unit

    Total cost = $150 unit

    Outsource:

    Price=$144 unit

    Fixed cost = $40*0,60 = $24

    Total cost = $168

    A) The outsourcing costs $18 more per unit. It increases the cost by $18000

    B) The price that makes the decision indifferent is the one that equals unitary costs. We can't reduce fixed costs.

    Price=144-18 = $126
