    Option (a) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Manufacturing cost:

    = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable overhead + Fixed overhead

    = $80,000 + $100,000 + $30,000 + $60,000

    = $270,000

    Purchase from outside:

    = Fixed overhead + Purchase price

    = $60,000 + (50,000 * $10)

    = $60,000 + $500,000

    = $560,000

    Effect on income = Purchase from outside - Manufacturing cost

    = $560,000 - $270,000

    = $290,000

    Therefore, the above calculations shows that income will decrease by $290,000.
