Answer:
$58,000
Explanation:
The computation of the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) is shown below:
We have to take the difference between the making cost and the buying cost i.e given below
Making cost is
= (Direct materials per motor + Direct labor per motor + Variable manufacturing overhead per motor) × number of motors produced
= ($5.5 + $5.6 + $4.45) × 40,000 motors
= $622,000
And,
Cost of buying is
= Number of motors produced × cost of buying
= 40,000 × $17
= $680,000
So,
Financial advantage of making is
= $680,000 - $622,000
= $58,000
