Bramble Corp., Inc. can produce 100 units of a component part with the following costs: Direct Materials $23000 Direct Labor 3500 Variable Overhead 26000 Fixed Overhead 11000 If Bramble Corp. can purchase the component part externally for $59000 and only $4000 of the fixed costs can be avoided, what is the correct make-or-buy decision

$2,500
