Answer:

It is cheaper to make the component in house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

The unit costs to produce are:

Direct materials= $32.50

Direct labor= $13.00

Variable manufacturing overhead= 19.50

An outside supplier has offered to provide Colby Corp. with the 10,000 subcomponents at an $84.50 per unit price.

Because the fixed costs are unavoidable, we won't take them into account.

Make in-house:

Unitary cost= 32.5 + 13 + 19.5= $65

Buy:

Purchasing price= $84.5

It is cheaper to make the component in house.
