- Remarkable Enterprises requires four units of part A for every unit of Al that it produces. Currently, part A is made by Remarkable, with these per-unit costs in a month when 4,000 units were produced: Variable manufacturing overhead is applied at $1.60 per unit. The other $0.50 of overhead consists of allocated fixed costs. Remarkable will need 8,000 units of part A for the next years production. Altoona Corporation has offered to supply 8,000 units of part A at a price of $8.00 per unit. If Remarkable accepts the offer, all of the variable costs and $2,000 of the fixed costs will be avoided. Should Remarkable accept the offer from Altoona Corporation?arrow_forwardDimitri Designs has capacity to produce 30,000 desk chairs per year and is currently selling all 30,000 for $240 each. Country Enterprises has approached Dimitri to buy 800 chairs for $210 each. Dimitris normal variable cost is $165 per chair, including $50 per unit in direct labor per chair. Dimitri can produce the special order on an overtime shift, which means that direct labor would be paid overtime at 150% of the normal pay rate.

The cost of the component per unit as quoted by the supplier is P15. 25% of fixed overhead applied in the manufacture of the component will continue regardless of what decision is made. For all purchase made by the company, freight and handling costs are applied at 2% of the purchase price. The direct materials cost presented above is exclusive of such freight and handling cost. What is the advantage or disadvantage of buying the component?A. P12,240 advantage B. 24,600 advantage C. 5,400 disadvantage D. 8,600 advantagearrow_forward
