Zesta Company produces a part used in the manufacture of one of its products. The unit product cost is $18, computed as follows: Direct materials $ 8 Direct labor 4 Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Unit product cost 1 $ 18 An outside supplier has offered to provide the annual requirement of 4,000 of the parts for only $14 each. The company estimates that 60% of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost above could be eliminated if the parts are purchased from the outside supplier. Based on these data, whether the company accept or reject the supplier offer? And Why?
Han Products manufactures 22,000 units of part S-6 each year for use on its production line. At this level of activity, the cost per unit for part S-6 is: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Total cost per part $ 3.60 10.00 2.40 6.00 $ 22.00 An outside supplier has offered to sell 22,000 units of part S-6 each year to Han Products for $20 per part. If Han Products accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to manufacture part S-6 could be rented to another company at an annual rental of $72,000. However, Han Products has determined that two-thirds of the fixed manufacturing overhead being applied to part S-6 would continue even if part S-6 were purchased from the outside supplier. Required: What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the outside supplier's offer?
Ahrends Corporation makes 44,000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures. The unit product cost of this part is computed as follows: Direct materials $ 23.80 Direct labor 27.70 Variable manufacturing overhead 8.70 Fixed manufacturing overhead 39.70 Unit product cost $ 99.90 An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs for $86.20 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 $286,000 per year. If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, all of the direct labor cost of the part would be avoided. However, $34.40 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…

Larson Company has offered to sell 1,000 units of the same part to Scott Corporation for $42 per unit. Scott should: Select one: a. buy the part, because this would save $10.00 per unit. X b. buy the part, because this would save the company $5,000 annually. c. make the part, because this would save the company $5,000 annually. d. make the part, because this would save $2.00 per unit.
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 $ 6 Direct labor 8 Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Unit product cost $ 21 An outside supplier has offered to provide the annual requirement of 6,500 of the parts for only $13 each. The company estimates that 80% of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost above could be eliminated if the parts are purchased from the outside supplier.
