Answer 1

$19

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided

Direct material = $18

Direct labor = $14

Variable overhead = $12

Offered price from outside supplier = $25

The calculation of Bonita Industries save is shown below:-

Total cost of production = Direct material + Direct labor + Variable overhead

= $18 + $14 + $12

= $44

Savings = Total cost of production - Offered price from outside supplier

= $44 - $25

= $19
