Answer:
It is cheaper to buy the product.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production:
Direct material $45,000
Direct labor 30,000
Factory overhead (30 % is variable ) 98,000
Buy:
Total cost= $100,000
I will assume that none of the fixed overhead avoidable. Therefore, we will take into account only the variable overhead.
Total variable production cost= 45,000 + 30,000 + (98,000*0.3)
Total variable production cost= $104,400
It is cheaper to buy the product.
