Lewis Auto Company manufactures a part for use in its production of automobiles. When 10,000 items are produced, the costs per unit are:

Direct materials $ 12

Direct manufacturing labor 60

Variable manufacturing overhead 24

Fixed manufacturing overhead 32

Total $128

Monty Company has offered to sell Lewis Auto Company 10,000 units of the part for $120 per unit. The plant facilities could be used to manufacture another part at a savings of $180,000 if Lewis Auto accepts the supplier's offer. In addition, $20 per unit of fixed manufacturing overhead on the original part would be eliminated.

What is the Opportunity Cost related to Lewis choosing to continue making the part?
