The company is currently operating at capacity and has received an offer from one of its suppliers to make the 12,000 awnings it needs for $25 each. Old Camp’s costs to make the awning are $12 in direct materials and $7 in direct labor. Variable manufacturing overhead is 70 percent of direct labor. If Old Camp accepts the offer, $42,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the awnings will have to be absorbed by other product lines.

Make in house:

Variable costs= 12 + 7 + (7*0.70)= $23.9

Total variable costs= 23.9*12000= 286,800
