Zion Manufacturing had always made its components in-house. However, Bryce Component Works had recently offered to supply one component, K2, at a price of $25 each. Zion uses 10,000 units of Component K2 each year. The cost per unit of this component is as follows:<\/p>\n
Direct materials $12.00<\/p>\n
Direct labor $8.25<\/p>\n
Variable overhead $4.50<\/p>\n
Fixed overhead $2.00<\/p>\n
