The average cost per motor at this level of activity is:Direct materials $ 9.90Direct labor $ 8.90Variable manufacturing overhead $ 3.65Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.60An outside supplier recently began producing a comparable motor that could be used in the sewing machine. The price offered to SP Corporation for this motor is $25.15.

The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier would be:Multiple Choice ($76,000) $254,000108,000$184,000
