Decision Analysis A product may be made by Machine I or Machine II. The manufacturer estimates that the monthly fixed costs of using Machine I are $18,000, whereas the monthly fixed costs of using Machine II are $15,000. The variable costs of manufacturing 1unit of the product using Machine I and Machine II are $15 and $20 respectively. The product sells for $50 each.
