Direct Labor
$104,000
Manufacturing Overhead incurred during the same period for production of the part is represented by the following cost behavior equation: y = $0.10x + $50,000.
If the part were purchased from an outside supplier, 80% of the total fixed manufacturing overhead cost would continue, and the facilities now being used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand.
