Answer:

1)

cost of making (14000*22) = 308000

cost of buying (14000*(18+6)) = 336000

Difference cost = 28000

2)

No, Since, there is not other use of fixed cost, therefore, fixed cost will be a part of cost of buying.

Answer:

The answer is 28000

Explanation:

1)as far as the fixed cost is unavoidable If units are purchased from outside Therefore it is irrelevant in decision making

Variable cost of manufacturing (since avoidable ,savings) =8+6+2= 16

Purchase cost :18

Difference in cost :14000[18-16 ]

             = 28000
