    Giving the following information:

    Ortega Industries manufactures 20,950 components per year.

    Direct materials $ 184,000

    Direct labor 410,000

    Variable manufacturing overhead 107,000

    Fixed manufacturing overhead 290,000

    Buy = 34 * 20950 = 712,300

    Increase in costs by buying = 712,300 - 701,000 = $11,300
