    Vaughn Manufacturing will save $12 if it accepts the offer

    Explanation:

    We need to calculate the manufacturing cost of the product and then compare it to the purchase price and the fixed cost after purchase.

    Manufacturing Cost:

    Direct Material $17

    Direct Labor $12

    Variable Overhead $10

    Fixed Overhead $14

    Total cost $53

    Purchasing cost:

    Purchase price $27

    Fixed overhead cost $14

    Total cost $41

    Saving = Manufacturing cost - Purchase cost = $53 - $41 = $12

    As we know that the fixed overhead cost does not vary with the change in the production or sales activity and it cannot be avoided because it has to incurred even the chips is purchase from the outside supplier. Vaughn Manufacturing will save $12 if it accepts the offer.
