    c) $40,000 to buy the part

    Explanation:

    For computing the better off first we have to compute the per unit cost which is shown below:

    = Direct material per unit + Direct labor per unit + variable overhead + applied variable overhead

    = $12 + $25 + $13 + $30 * 30%

    = $12 + $25 + $13 + $9

    = $59

    The difference cost would be

    = $59 - $55

    = $4

    Now the better off would be

    = Number of units * difference cost

    = 10,000 units * $4

    = $40,000
