Supler Corporation produces a part used in the manufacture of one of its products. The unit product cost is $21, computed as follows: Direct materials $ 8 Direct labor 7 Variable manufacturing overhead 1 Fixed manufacturing overhead 5 Unit product cost $ 21 An outside supplier has offered to provide the annual requirement of 5,500 of the parts for only $13 each. The company estimates that 60% of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost above could be eliminated if the parts are purchased from the outside supplier.
