    It is more convenient to continue making the part in house.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Gilberto Company currently manufactures 65,000 units per year of one of its crucial parts.

    Variable costs are $1.95 per unit

    Fixed costs = $75,000 per year

    Allocated fixed costs = $62,000

    Allocated fixed costs are unavoidable.

    Gilberto is considering buying the part from a supplier for a quoted price of $3.25 per unit guaranteed for three years.

    We need to determine whether it is more convenient to buy the parts or make them in house.

    We will not have into account the allocated fixed costs because they are unavoidable.

    Make in house:

    Total cost = 65,000*1.95 + 75,000 = $201,750

    Buy:

    Total cost = 65,000*3.25 = $211,250

    It is more convenient to continue making the part in house.
