Chapter 8, Problem 8.52AP
Outsourcing decision given alternative use of capacity (Learning Objective 6)
Mountain Sports manufactures snowboards. Its cost of making 1,850 bindings is as follows:
| Direct materials | $ 18,500 |
| Direct labor | 2,900 |
| Variable manufacturing |
1,285 |
| Fixed manufacturing overhead | 7.100 |
| Total |
$ 29,785 |
| Cost per pair ($29,785 ÷ 1,850) | $ 16.10 |
Suppose an outside supplier will sell bindings to Mountain Sports for $14 each. Mountain Sports will pay $1.00 per unit to transport the bindings to its manufacturing plant, where it will add its own logo at a cost of $0.70 per binding.
Requirements
- 1. Mountain Sports’ accountants predict that purchasing the bindings from the outside supplier will enable the company to avoid $2,000 of fixed overhead. Prepare an analysis to show whether the company should make or buy the bindings.
- 2. The facilities freed by purchasing bindings from the outside supplier can be used to manufacture another product that will contribute $2,800 to profit. Total fixed costs will be the same as if Mountain Sports had produced the bindings. Show which alternative makes the best use of Mountain Sports facilities: (a) make bindings, (b) buy bindings and leave facilities idle, or (c) buy bindings and make another product.
