A factory's entire machine capacity is used to produce essential components.The costs of using the machines are as follows. V.C $15,000 F.C $50,000 Total $65,000 If all the components are purchased from an outside supplier,the machines could be used to produce other items which would earn a total contribution of $25,000. What is the maximum price that a profit-maximising company should be willing to pay to the outside supplier for the components? A $15,000 B $25,000 C $40,000 D $65,000 Sir can you explain me how to get the answer

Hi Tabeetha Thanks for your post & welcome to Open Tuition CIMA forum. Im presuming you have an answer in the textbook for this question? Please can you share it & let me know which part you dont understand - this is easier than you posing the question blind and expecting me to answer it for you? Is this a CIMA question - I dont recognise it from one of the major publishers if so? Many Thanks Cath
