    Gonzalez Company Should buy the part and rent the premises to save $22,000

    Explanation:

    Applicable expenses are costs which are acquired just when a choice is taken. In the current issue, we need to just consider the important costs identified with creation which will be caused just if creation is finished

    Fixed processing plant overhead which is avoidable will just frame some portion of applicable expense as unavoidable fixed overhead is a sunk expense as it must be acquired by the association regardless of whether creation isn't finished

    Lease which could have been earned if the industrial facility was not utilized for creation is an open door cost of creation thus will frame some portion of pertinent expense of creation

    These expenses are as per the following:

    Direct materials $100,000 + Direct work $56,000 + Variable industrial facility overhead $72,000 + Avoidable fixed overhead $72,000 + Opportunity cost of lease inevitable $72,000

    = $372,000

    Cost of purchasing = Number of units x Price per unit

    Cost of purchasing = 5,000 x $70

    Cost of purchasing = $350,000

    Along these lines, Net advantage of purchasing the part and leasing the office

    = Relevant expense of Cost of creation - Cost of purchasing

    = $372,000 - $350,000

    = $22,000
