Sardi Incorporated is considering whether to continue to make a component or to buy it from an outside supplier. The company uses 12,600 of the components each year. The unit product cost of the component according to the company's cost accounting system is given as follows: Direct materials $ 8.40 Direct labor 5.40 Variable manufacturing overhead 1.20 Fixed manufacturing overhead 3.20 Unit product cost $ 18.20 Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. Of the fixed manufacturing overhead, 35% is avoidable if the component were bought from the outside supplier. In addition, making the component uses 1 minutes on the machine that is the company's current constraint. If the component were bought, time would be freed up for use on another product that requires 2 minutes on this machine and that has a contribution margin of $4.80 per unit. When deciding whether to make or buy the component, what cost of making the component should be compared to the price of buying the…

Brees, Inc., a manufacturer of golf carts, has just received an offer from a supplier to provide 2,600 units of a component used in its main product. The component is a track assembly that is currently produced internally. The supplier has offered to sell the track assembly for $65 per unit. Brees is currently using a traditional, unit-based costing system that assigns overhead to jobs on the basis of direct labor hours. The estimated traditional full cost of producing the track assembly is as follows: Direct materials $40.00 Direct labor 16.00 Variable overhead 4.00 Fixed overhead 40.00 Prior to making a decision, the company’s CEO commissioned a special study to see whether there would be any decrease in the fixed overhead costs. The results of the study revealed the following: 3 setups—$1,180 each (The setups would be avoided, and total spending could be reduced by $1,180 per setup.) One half-time inspector is needed. The company already uses part-time inspectors hired…
Supler Corporation produces a part used in the manufacture of one of its products. The unit product cost is $21, computed as follows: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Unit product cost An outside supplier has offered to provide the annual requirement of 4,400 of the parts for only $10 each. The company estimates that 50% of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost above could be eliminated if the parts are purchased from the outside supplier. Assume that direct labor is an avoidable cost in this decision. Based on these data, the financial advantage (disadvantage) of purchasing the parts from the outside supplier would be: Multiple Choice $8 7 2 4 $ 21 $9 per unit on average
