Bowie Company has offered to sell Cardi 20,000 units of wheel sets for $9 per unit. If Cardi accepts the offer, some of the facilities presently used to manufacture wheel sets could be rented to a third party at an annual rental of $10,000. Additionally, $1 per unit of the fixed overhead applied to wheel sets would be totally eliminated.
