Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

First, we will determine the unitary production cost:

Unitary production cost= 10 + 20 + (0.6*50)

Unitary production cost= $60

We only consider the avoidable overhead costs.

Buy= $58 per unit

The unitary cost of buying is lower than making in-house by $2.
