Fremont Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $67 per unit. The company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 50% of direct labor cost. The unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows:

Direct materials	$40
Direct labor	20
Factory overhead (50% of direct labor)	10
Total cost per unit	$70

If Fremont Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 15% of the direct labor costs.
