Multiple Choice

Part S00 is used in one of Morsey Corporation's products. The company makes 6,000 units of this part each year.

If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company.
