Elroy Racers makes bicycles. It has always purchased its bicycle tires from the M. Wilson Tires at $25 each but is currently considering making the tires in its own factory. The estimated costs per unit of making the tires are as follows: Direct materials $8 Direct labor $5 Variable manufacturing overhead $7 The company’s fixed expenses would increase by $60,000 per year if managers decided to make the tire.(b)What qualitative factors should Elroy Racers consider in making this decision?
The EKTA Company, founded in 1992, is a manufacturer and exporter ofhigh-end bicycles. Its assembly division buys bicycle frames from the framedivision and assembles the bicycles.The frame division, which is operating at capacity, incurs an incrementalmanufacturing cost of $65 per frame. The frame division can sell all its output to the outside market at a price of $100 per frame, after incurring a variable marketing and distribution cost of $8 per frame. If the assembly division purchases frames from outside suppliers at a price of $100 per frame, it will incur a variable purchasing cost of $7 per frame. EKTA’s division managers can act autonomously to maximize their own division’s operating income. The EKTA’s main competitor does not manufacture their bicycleframes. They purchase the frames from outside suppliers for theirAssembly Division. Do you believe that this difference in operationsgives either EKTA or their competitor a pricing advantage over theother?
