Cost of direct materials in term of per unit = $1.20

Cost of direct labor term of per unit = $1

Further, Over Head cost to make the part is 80% of direct labor cost.

So, Overhead cost = 80% x $1.00 = $0.80

Therefore, total cost to make = Direct materials cost + direct labor cost + overhead cost

Total cost to make = 1.20 + 1 + 0.80 = $3.00

Difference in cost = total cost to make - cost to buy

Difference in cost = 3.00 - 2.50 = $0.50
