(Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)

Answer:

Manson will incur a loss of $10,300 by buying the part.

Explanation:

Purchases = 10,300 * $6 = $61,800

Variable cost = 10,300 * $5 = $51,500

Fixed cost = 10,300 * $3 = $30,900

Analysis:

Details               Make ($)           Buy ($)         Net ($)

Purchase                  0                  61,800          61,800

Variable              51,500                   0              51,500

Fixed                  30,900              30,900             0    

Loss                                                                   10,300  

Therefore, Manson will incur a loss of $10,300 by buying the part.
