Answer:

$30

Explanation:

The computation of relevant unit cost to make the part internally is shown below:-

Relevant cost of making part = Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead

= $4 + $10 + ($40 - (100% - $60%)

= $4 + $10 + ($40 - 40%)

= $4 + $10 + $16

= $30

So, for computing the relevant unit cost to make the part internally we simply applied the above formula.
