Question

Provide Answer

Jackson Company manufactures 20,000 components per
year. The manufacturing cost of the components was
determined as follows:
Direct materials
Direct labor
$150,000
$120,000
Variable overhead $80,000
Fixed overhead $100,000
An outside supplier has offered to sell Jackson the
component for $19. If Jackson purchases the component
from an outside supplier, fixed costs would be reduced
by $10,000. The manufacturing facilities would be
unused and could be rented out for $10,000.
Should Jackson accept the offer?
a. Yes, because the differential costs decrease by
$30,000.
b. No, because the differential costs increase by $30,000.
c. No, because the differential costs increase by $10,000.
d. Yes, because the differential costs decrease by
$10,000.
