Answer:

Change in profit is Nil

Explanation:

<em>To determine whether to outsource the production of product X or not, we would compare the variable cost internal production to the external</em> <em>purchase price. And then adjust  the net figure for the fixed costs. </em>

<em>For a make or buy decision the relevant cash flows include </em>

1. the differential variable cost of the two options  

2. savings from avoidable fixed costs associated with internal production

                                                                                                  $

Variable cost internal production (2+7+5)                             14

External buy in price                                                               <u>12</u>    

Savings per unit  of bought from outside                            <u> 2   </u>

Savings on  1000 units (2× 1,000)                                         2,000

Unavoidable  fixed cost (2  ×    1,000)                                 <u> (2,000)</u>    

Net change in profit                                                             <u>       Nil   </u>

<em>Note we assume that the fixed overhead is unavoidable. That is it will still be incurred whether or the product is outsourced     </em>
