Foster Industries manufactures 20,000 components per year. The manufacturing cost of the components was determined as follows:
Direct materials..........................................$150,000
Direct labor................................................240,000

Providing supervision......................................40,000
Setting up equipment......................................60,000
Moving materials..........................................20,000

If the component is not produced by Foster, inspection of products and provision of power costs will only be 10% of the current production costs; moving materials costs and setting up equipment costs will only be 50% of the production costs; and supervision costs will amount to only 40% of the production amount.
