Accounting

X Company is considering buying a part next year that they currently make. A company has offered to supply this part for $15.15 per unit. This year's total production costs for 59,000 units were:

Materials $312,700
Direct labor [all variable] 259,600
Total overhead 283,200
Total production costs $855,500

Of the total overhead costs, $76,700 were fixed, and $56,758 of these fixed overhead costs were unavoidable. If X Company buys the part, the resources that were used for production can be rented out for $75,000. Production next year is expected to increase to 63,000 units. If X Company continues to make the part instead of buying it, it will save?
