Aileen Co manufactures two components, L and M. Both components are manufactured on the machine ZX. The following cost information per unit of L and M is available: Direct material Direct labour Variable overhead Fixed overhead Total cost L M ($) ($) 12 18 25 15 8 7 6 46 10 55 Component L requires three hours on machine ZX and component M requires five hours. Manufacturing requirements show a need for 1,500 units of each component per week. The maximum number of machine ZX hours available per week is 10,000. An external supplier has offered to supply Aileen Co with the components for a price of $57 per component L and $55 per component M. Identify, by clicking on the relevant boxes in the table below, whether each of the following statements are true or false. would be cheaper for Aileen Co to produce all the components in-house if the hours on machine ZX were available Aileen Co should purchase 400 units of component M from the external supplier TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE
