Rocky Creek Bicycles uses a standard part in the manufacture of several of its bikes. The cost of producing 40,000 parts is $138,000, which includes fixed costs of $68,000 and variable costs of $70,000. The company can buy the part from an outside supplier for $3.50 per unit, and avoid 30% of the fixed costs. Assume that factory space freed up by purchasing the part from an outside source can be used to manufacture another product that can be sold for $15,000 profit.

i would say their habit of breaking down.

1) the stages a new product goes through from beginning to end, i.e., the stages that a product passes through from introduction through growth, maturity, and decline. 2) the time from initial research and development to the time at which sales and support of the product to customers are withdrawn. 3) the period of time during which a product can be produced and marketed profitably.

                                          hope it

i might look it up later.
