Sam is making component W, which is an essential part of product M. The cost of making component W is as follows:
$

36
It is found that component W could be bought from an outside supplier at $21. It is unlikely to reduce any production costs even if component W is acquired from outside.
Required:
(a)Determine the overhead absorption rate.
(b)Advise whether the company should continue making component W or buy it from outside.
