Explanation:

The cost to produce the parts for Jackson Corporation amounts to $117000 for 26000 produced. The variable cost per unit is only 70000/26000 = $2.69 / unit.

On the other hand, purchasing from the outside supplier would cost $4.62 per unit along with $21500 in fixed costs. (43000 / 2 =21500)

Thus, it will cost $141620 (21500 + 4.62*26000) to purchase 26000 units from outside.

The benfit of producing these units by Jackson corporation is 141620 - 113000 = $28620.
