Of the fixed manufacturing overhead, 70% is avoidable if the component were bought from the outside supplier. In addition, making the component uses 2 minutes on the machine that is the company's current constraint.

that has a contribution margin of $7.00 per unit.When deciding whether to make or buy the component, what cost of making the component should be compared to the price of buying the component?

A. $25.50 per unit
