Supler Corporation produces a part used in the manufacture of one of its products. The unit product cost is $20, computed as follows:

Direct materials $ 9
Direct labor 5
Variable manufacturing overhead 1
Fixed manufacturing overhead 5
Unit product cost $ 20

An outside supplier has offered to provide the annual requirement of 3,400 of the parts for only $15 each.
