Darling Sdn. Bhd. can either make the component Silk internally, which would take 5 hours at a variable cost of RM15 per unit, or buy it from a supplier for RM20 each. Making Silk in-house would use a machine currently used to make product MOON, which takes 1 hour to make and has a marginal cost of RM5 and selling price of RM8. Darling must decide whether to make or buy the Silk component based on which option has lower costs.
