    Financial advantage of accepting the outside supplier's offer = $30,000

    Explanation:

    The relevant cash flow from the accepting the offer of the outside suppliers include:

    Extra variable cost of buying Savings in direct fixed manufacturing overhead Gains from annual rental income from facility

    Unit variable cost of making: 3.40 + 8 + 2.60 = 14

    Direct fixed manufacturing overhead (1/3 * 19 * 20,000) = 60,000

    $

    Variable cost of external purchase (19 * 20,000) 380,000

    Variable cost of making (14 * 20,000) (280,000)

    Extra variable cost of buying (100,000)

    add savings in manufacturing overhead 60,000

    add revenue from rental charge 70,000

    Net financial advantage from buying 30,000

    Financial advantage of accepting the outside supplier's offer = $30,000
