In order to upgrade its services, the company is considering three new models of laser copying machines for use in producing high-quality copies.

The annual rental costs and the operating costs vary with the size of each machine. The machine capacities and costs are as follows Copier Model 1024M 350,000 10245 100,000 Annual capacity (copies) 10240 800,000 Costs: Annual machine rental $ 6,000 $ 11,000 $ 19,000 Direct material and direct labor Variable overhead costs 8.02 0.12 0.82 8.87 0.02 0.03 a Calculate the volume level in copies where FastQ Company would be indifferent to acquiring either the small-volume model laser copier, 1024S, or the medium-volume model laser copier, 1024M. b.
