Danford Company, a manufacturer of farm equipment, currently produces 20,000 units of gas filters per year for use in its lawn-mower production.

If the company continues to produce the product in-house, annual direct material costs will increase $3000/year (For example, annual material costs during the first production year will be $63,000.) Direct labor will also increase by $5000/year. However, variable overhead costs will increase at the rate of $2000/year and the fixed overhead will remain at its current level over the next five years. John Holland Company has offered to sell Danford 20,000 units of gas filters for $25 per unit. If Danford accepts the offer, some of the manufacturing facilities currently used to manufacture the filter could be rented to a third party for $35,000 per year.
