    Answer: for manufacturing total cost is $1387500

    For outsourcing total cost is $1380000

    It is wiser for the company to outsource and save $7500

    Explanation:

    Cost for manufacturing 1500 units at $875 per unit is 1500x875

    = $1312500

    Fixed cost of production is $75000

    Total production cost becomes,

    1312500 + 75000 = $1387500

    Cost for outsourcing;

    1500 units at $929 will cost

    1500x920 = 1380000
