Answer:
Difference= $60,000 in favor of buying
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of units= 12,000
Make in-house:
Direct material, $15
direct labor, $27
variable overhead, $15
applied fixed overhead, $32
Buy:
Buying price= $60
If Fischer buys the part, 75 percent of the applied fixed overhead would continue.
<u>First, we will calculate the avoidable fixed overhead per unit:</u>
Avoidable fixed overhead= 32*0.25= $8
<u>Now, the total differential cost of making in-house:</u>
<u></u>
Total cost of production= 12,000*(15 + 27 + 15 + 8)
Total cost of production= 12,000*65
Total cost of production= $780,000
Total cost of buying= 60*12,000= $720,000
Difference= $60,000 in favor of buying
