A manufacturing firm has signed a contract to produce a product to demand, receiving $500 per unit. The firm could either produce the product itself or outsource the production. Demand is exponentially distributed with a mean of 10,000 units per year. Inhouse production has normally-distributed fixed costs with mean of $500,000 and a standard deviation of $100,000 and normallydistributed variable costs with mean $200 and standard deviation of $10. Outsourcing has no fixed cost, but variable costs are $250.
