Make-or-Buy Decision Zion Manufacturing had always made its components in-house. However, Bryce Component Works had recently offered to supply one component, K2, at a price of $12 each. Zion uses 4,200 units of Component K2 each year. The cost per unit of this component is as follows: Direct materials $7.61 Direct labor 2.40 Variable overhead 1.98 Fixed overhead 3.00 Total $14.99 The fixed overhead is an allocated expense; none of it would be eliminated if production of Component K2 stopped....
