Goldwater Company manufactures a part for its production cycle. The costs per unit for 10,000 units of this part are as follows:  Direct materials $20 Direct labor 15 Variable factory overhead 16 Fixed factory overhead 10 Total costs $161\begin{array}{lc}\text { Direct materials } & \$ 20 \\\text { Direct labor } & 15 \\\text { Variable factory overhead } & 16 \\\text { Fixed factory overhead } & \underline{10} \\\text { Total costs } & \$ \underline{161}\end{array} The fixed factory overhead costs are unavoidable. Assume that Goldwater Company can buy 10,000 units of the part from another producer for $56 each. The current facilities could be used to make 10,000 units of a product that has a contribution margin of $20 per unit. No additional fixed costs would be incurred. Goldwater Company should:
