Lindon Company uses 5,000 units of Part X each year as a component in the assembly of one of its products. The company is presently producing Part X
internally at a total cost of $80,000 as follows:

Direct Materials	$18,000
Direct Labor	20,000
Variable Manufacturing Overhead	12,000
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead	30,000
Total Costs	80,000

An outside supplier has offered to provide Part X at a price of $13 per unit. If Lindon stops producing the part internally, one-third of the manufacturing
overhead would be eliminated.

Required:

Prepare a make or buy analysis showing the annual advantage or disadvantage of accepting the outside supplier’s offer.
