Explanation:

In this question, we have to compare the make or buy options which are shown below:

Particulars Make Buy

Direct materials (5,000 units * $1) $5,000

Direct labor (5,000 units * $10) $50,000

Variable manufacturing overhead

(5,000 units * $5) $25,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead $60,000 $110,000 (5,000 units * $22)

Total $140,000 $110,000

Since in buy decision, the cost is minimum. So, the company should accept this offer
