Direct Materials |
$12.00 |
Direct Labor |
$15.00 |
Variable Manufacturing Overhead |
$7.50 |
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead |
$9.75 |
Unit Product Cost |
$44.25 |
An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs
for $45.00 a unit. If the company accepts this offer, the facilities now being
used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product that is in
high demand. The additional contribution margin on this other product would be
$100,000 per year.
If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, all of the direct labor
cost of the part would be avoided. However, $4.75 of the fixed manufacturing
overhead cost being applied to the part would continue even if the part were
purchased from the outside supplier. This fixed manufacturing overhead cost
would be applied to the company's remaining products.
Required:
i. How much of the unit product cost of $44.25 is relevant in the decision of
whether to make or buy the part?
ii. Should Rosnek Corporation make or buy the part? (Provide numerical support
