Bevil, Inc., manufactures tractors for agricultural usage. Bevil purchases the engines needed for its tractors from two sources: Johnson Engines and Watson Company. The Johnson engine is the more expensive of the two sources and has a price of $1,000. The Watson engine is $900 per unit. Bevil produces and sells 88,000 trac- tors. Of the 88,000 engines needed for the tractors, 16,000 are purchased from John- son Engines and 72,000 are purchased from Watson Company. The production manager, Jamie Murray, prefers the Johnson engine. However, Jan Booth, purchasing manager, maintains that the price difference is too great to buy more than the 16,000 units currently purchased. Booth also wants to maintain a significant con- nection with the Johnson source just in case the less expensive source cannot supply the needed quantities. Even though Jamie understands the price argument, he is convinced that the quality of the Johnson engine is worth the price difference. Frank Wallace, the…

This Little Light, Inc. is a manufacturer of lamps. Little Light makes 40,000 units per
year of a part that it uses in the manufacturing of each lamp. At this activity level, the
unit production cost is $7.17. Of this amount, $4.71 is for unit variable production
costs. The remainder is for fixed production costs and equals $98,400.
Little Light has identified an outsider supplier who sells the needed part. If the part is
purchased from the outsider supplier, 15% of Little Light's fixed manufacturing costs
will be eliminated.
Assume Little Light will need 50,000 of the part next year and that the freed up
capacity can be rented out to another company for $31,740. At what purchase price
will Little Light be economically indifferent between making the part and buying the
part?
