The key to this question is what will happen to the fixed overhead costs if production of the boxes is discontinued. Assume that all $60,000 of fixed costs will continue. Then, Sunshine State will lose $12,000 by purchasing the boxes from Weyerhaeuser: Payment to Weyerhaeuser, 80,000 x $2.10 $168,000 Costs saved, variable costs 156,000 Additional costs $ 12,000 2. Some subjective factors are: ( Might Weyerhaeuser raise prices if Sunshine State closed down its box-making facility? ( Will sub-contracting the box production affect the quality of the boxes? ( Is a timely supply of boxes assured, even if the number needed changes? ( Does Sunshine State sacrifice proprietary information when disclosing the box specifications to Weyerhaeuser? 3. In this case the fixed costs are relevant. However, it is not the depreciation on the old equip
