The fully absorbed unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows:

Direct materials

$57

Direct labor

20

Factory overhead (40% of direct labor)

$85

If Jupiter 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 10% of the direct labor costs.
