    C. $160,000 $170,000

    D. $190,000 $170,000

    The correct option is D. $190,000 $170,000

    Explanation:

    The incremental cost of making the band blades is calculated as follows:

    => $30,000 forgone profit contribution

    +

    $10,000 avoidable fixed manufacturing overhead

    +

    $100,000 direct material and labor

    +

    $50,000 variable manufacturing overhead

    = $190,000

    While The incremental cost of purchasing the band blades is the $170,000 outside purchase cost.

    Therefore, we have:

    $190,000 $170,000. Option D
