A company currently produces an electric motor at its main manufacturing facility in Dayton, Ohio. The motor's cost when produced at the Dayton plant is

$135.62

per motor. The company is currently considering outsourcing production to either a plant in Mexico or a plant in Indonesia. The company believes that producing the motor in Mexico will result in additional overhead of

to each motor's cost, and lower quality will probably cost approximately

$4.51

. Shipping from Mexico will increase cost by

$85.55

$14.83

per motor, and the costs of additional inventory and lower quality are estimated at

$4.82
