    Supplier's quotation (2,400 x $6.25) 150,000

    Less: Relevant cost of production:

    Direct material (2,400 x $31) 74,400

    Direct labour (2,400 x $18) 43,200

    Variable overhead (2,400 x $9) 21,600 139,200

    Savings 10,800

    The parts should be produced in-house since the relevant cost of production is lower than supplier's quotation.

    Explanation:

    In this case, we need to compare supplier's quotation to the relevant cost of production. The price of $6.25 above was computed by dividing the total price charged by the supplier by the number of parts. Moreso, the relevant cost of production is obtained by the aggregate of direct material, direct labour and variable overhead.
