    Increase in net annual operating income $35,000

    Explanation:

    $

    Variable cost of internal production

    (30,000+50,000 + 20,000) 100,000

    Variable cost of purchase (1.25 * 100,000) 125,000

    Extra variable cost of buying (25,000)

    Add savings in fixed cost from 15,000

    Add rent from facilities 45,000

    Increase in net annual operating income 35,000

    Increase in net annual operating income $35,000

    The balance of the the fixed cost is not relevant hence it was not considered. This is so because whatever decision is taken, it would be incurred either way
