Answer:

Option B is correct

The maximum price to be paid is = $64000

Explanation:

To determine the the maximum price we would compute using the relevant costs of internal production.

<em>The maximum price to be paid to external supplier should be the total relevant costs associated with internal production.</em>

Total relevant cost of internal production = 34,000 + 15,000 +9000 + 6000

The maximum price to be paid is = $64000

Note that the fixed overhead  of $6000 is associated with the internal production the balance of 4,000 is irrelevant and would be incurred either way.
