8,000 = fixed overhead

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Bell's Shop can make 1000 units of a necessary component with the following costs:

Direct Materials $24000

Direct Labor 6000

Variable Overhead 3000

Fixed Overhead?

The company can purchase the 1000 units externally for $39000. The unavoidable fixed costs are $2000 if the units are purchased externally.

Buy = 41,000/1,000 = $41

Total Unitary cost = 24,000 + 6,000 + 3,000 + fixed overhead

41,000 = 33,000 + fixed overhead

8,000 = fixed overhead
