Specter Company makes 20,000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures.The unit product cost of this part is computed as follows:Direct materials $25.10Direct labour 18.20Variable manufacturing overhead 2.40Fixed manufacturing overhead 13.40Unit product cost $56.70An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all these parts it needs for $56.00 a unit. Ifthe company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make the part could be used tomake more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin on thisother product would be $50,000 per year.If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, all the direct labour cost of the part wouldbe avoided. However, $5.10 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost being applied to the partwould continue even if the part were purchased from the outside supplier. This fixedmanufacturing overhead cost would be applied to the company's remaining products.Required:Part a:Calculate…
