The Compressor Division and the Fabrication Division of Plash
Company, which exclusively produces one type of washing machine,
respectively, are its two divisions. For the Fabrication Division, which
completes the washing machine and sells it to retailers, the Compressor
Division makes compressors. The Fabrication Division buys compressors
from the Compressor Division. The Fabrication Division will spend
$40.00 on a compressor, which is the market price. (Skip updates to the
inventory.) It is expected that the fixed costs for the Compressor
Division remain constant for orders between 5,000 and 10,000 units.
The Fabrication Division's fixed expenses are estimated to be $7.50 per
unit at 10,000 units.
Compressor's costs per compressor are:
Direct materials
$15.00
Direct labor
$7.25
Variable overhead
$3.00
Division fixed costs
$7.50
Fabrication's costs per completed air conditioner are:
Direct materials
$150.00
Direct labor
$62.50
Variable overhead
$20.00
Division fixed costs
$7.50

The product selected (called Chap-Off) is a lip balm that will be sold in a lipstick-type tube. The product will be sold
to wholesalers in boxes of 24 tubes for $11 per box. Because of excess capacity, no additional fixed manufacturing
overhead costs will be incurred to produce the product. However, a $99,000 charge for fixed manufacturing
overhead will be absorbed by the product under the company's absorption costing system.
Using the estimated sales and production of 110,000 boxes of Chap-Off, the Accounting Department has developed
the following manufacturing cost per box:
Direct material
Direct labor
Manufacturing overhead
Total cost
$ 5.10
3.40
2.30
$ 10.80
The costs above relate to making both the lip balm and the tube that contains it. As an alternative to making the
tubes for Chap-Off, Silven has approached a supplier to discuss the possibility of buying the tubes. The purchase
price of the supplier's empty tubes would be $1.70 per box of 24 tubes. If Silven Industries stops…
Deli's Fudge Factory currently makes fudge for retail and mail order
customers. It also offers a variety of roasted nuts. Fudge sales have increased
over the past year, so Deli is considering outsourcing the roasted nuts and
using the roasting space to make additional fudge. A reliable supplier has
quoted a price of £0.85 per pound for the roasted nuts. The following
amounts reflect the in-house manufacturing costs per pound for the roasted
nuts:
Direct materials
Direct labour
Unit-related support costs
Batch-related support costs
Product-sustaining support costs
Facility-sustaining support costs
Total cost per pound
£0.50
0.06
0.10

£0.90
Required:
Should Deli's Fudge Factory outsource the roasted nuts? Why or why
not? Discuss all items that should be considered.
