    It is more convenient to produce in house.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The cost of producing 42,000 parts is $138,000, which includes fixed costs of $68,000 and variable costs of $70,000.

    The company can buy the part from an outside supplier for $3.50 per unit and avoid 30% of the fixed costs.

    Produce in house:

    Unitary variable cost = 70000/42000 = 1.67

    Fixed costs = 68000

    Total cost = 138,000

    Outsource:

    Unitary price = 3.50

    Fixed costs = (68000*0.70) = 47,600

    Total cost = (3.5*42000) - 47600 = $194,600

    It is more convenient to produce in house.
