    The correct answer is D.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    An outside company has offered to supply one component, part number X76, for $12 each. Ring uses 22,000 of these components per year. Costs of X76 are as follows: Direct materials $3.00 Direct labor $1.50 Variable overhead $2.75 Fixed overhead $5.00 Suppose that 30% of the fixed overhead is avoidable if part X76 is not made by Ring.

    Buy = 12*22,000 = 264,000

    Fixed overhead = (5*0.70) * 22,000 = 77,000

    Total = $341,000

    Make in-house:

    Direct material = 3

    Direct labor $1.50

    Variable overhead $2.75

    Fixed overhead $5.00

    Total unitary cost = 12.25

    Total cost = 12.25*22,000 = $269,500
