Answer:

If the company makes the units, it will save $100,000.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials $8

Direct labor 2

Variable overhead 1

Number of units= 100,000

Buying= $12 per unit

As the fixed costs are unavoidable, should not be taken into account.

Total cost of production= (8 + 2 + 1)*100,000= $1,100,000

Total cost of buying= 12*100,000= $1,200,000

If the company makes the units, it will save $100,000.
