    The Company will use the 64 unit cost for the make scenario

    and use the 54 for the buy plus the fixed cost (6x 2000)

    In the short term, when the fixed cost are unavoidable, the operating profit will increase to 6,000

    in the long-term, the operating profit will increase to 18,000

    Explanation:

    Direct Materials 27

    Direct Labor 16

    Variable Overhead 14

    Fixed Overhead 6

    Total unit cost 63

    Total Variable Cost 57

    Offered Unit cost

    108,000/2,000 = 54

    Unit Cost $63.00 $54.00 $9.00

    Total Cost $126,000.00 $108,000.00 $18,000.00

    Unavoidable Fixed Cost $12,000.00 - $12,000.00

    Total Cost $126,000.00 $120,000.00 $6,000.00
