Answer:

$7.50 per unit

Explanation:

Cost of buying from outside supplier = $33 per unit.

Relevant cost of making such component in-house = Direct materials+ Direct labor+ Variable overhead

= $9.50 per unit + $13.50 per unit + $2.50 per unit

= $25.50 per unit

Net incremental cost of buying the component = Cost of buying from outside supplier- Relevant cost of making such component in-house

= $33.00 per unit - $25.50 per unit

= $7.50 per unit
