X Company is considering buying a part next year that they currently produce. A company has offered to supply this part for $16.65 per unit. This year's total production costs for 57,000 units were:
| Materials |
$324,900 |
| Direct labor [all variable] |
273,600 |
| Total overhead |
319,200 |
Of the total overhead costs, $68,400 were fixed, and $42,408 of these fixed overhead costs are unavoidable. If X Company buys the part, the resources that were used for production can be rented to another company for $80,000. Production next year is expected to increase to 60,700 units.
