- Direct Materials $120,000
- Direct Labor 25,000
- Variable Overhead 45,000
- Fixed Overhead 30,000
If Neely Manufacturing Company can purchase the component externally for $190,000 and only $5,000 of the fixed costs can be avoided, what is the correct make-or-buy decision?

2. Keller Company manufactures a product with a unit variable cost of $150 and a unit sales price of $264. Fixed manufacturing costs were $720,000 when 10,000 units were produced and sold. The company has a one-time opportunity to sell an additional 3,000 units at $210 each in a foreign market which would not affect its present sales. If the company has sufficient capacity to produce the additional units, acceptance of the special order would affect net income as follows:
- Income would decrease by $162,000.
- Income would decrease by $36,000.
- Income would increase by $63,000.
- Income would increase by $180,000.
3. The per-unit standards for direct labor are 2 direct labor hours at $15 per hour. If in producing 1,800 units, the actual direct labor cost was $48,000 for 3,000 direct labor hours worked, the total direct labor variance is
- $1,800 unfavorable.
- $6,000 favorable.
- $3,750 unfavorable.
- $6,000 unfavorable.
