Gelb Company currently manufactures 42,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $6.25 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $85,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $67,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.70 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 42,000 units and buying 42,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier?

Required One:

Calculate the total incremental cost of making 42,000 units. (Round "variable cost per unit" answers to 2 decimal places.)

	Incremental Costs to Make Relevant Amount per Unit Relevant Fixed Costs Total Relevant Costs Variable cost per unit Fixed manufacturing costs Total incremental cost to make $0

	Incremental Costs to Buy Relevant Amount per Unit Relevant Fixed Costs Total Relevant Costs Purchase price per unit Total incremental cost to buy

	Should Gelb make the part or purchase it from the outside supplier?
