Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units production= 55,000 units

Production costs:

Direct materials $5

Direct labor $9

Avoidable Overhead= 3

Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable.

An outside supplier has offered to supply the 55,000 units of RX5 for $20.00 per unit.

We need to determine the total cost of making in-house and buying.

We will take into account only the variable cost (avoidable cost).

Make in-house:

Total cost= 55,000*(5 + 9 + 3)= $935,000

Buy:

Total cost= 55,000*20= $1,100,000

If the company makes the component, $165,000 will be saved.

balanced lifestyle would be the type of lifestyle that fulfill all aspects of our life, including financial security, personal achievements, emotional balance, and intimate relationships with other people.

for me personally, the job that i would choose to achieve a balanced lifestyle is opening an online store.

online store can be managed from the comfort of our phone. if we are the owner of the store, we can determine our own working hours. we can arrange our working hours so we have time to do things such as taking care of children, cultivating romantic relationship, or do our hobby.
