Assuming there is no other use for the facilities, what is the effect on operating income if Delta buys from Conners? 21) Assuming no other use of their facilities, at what buying price per unit for Delta would Delta's operating income be the same whether they made the part or bought it from Conners?
A company makes 36,000 motors to be used in the production of its blender. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead An outside supplier recently began producing a comparable motor that could be used in the blender. The price offered to the company for this motor is $23.95. There would be no other use for the production facilities and none of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost could be avoided. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier would be: Multiple Choice O O O ($68,400) $214,200 $9.50 $ 8.50 $ 3.45 $ 4.40 90,000 $158,400
