Suppose a BMW executive in Germany is trying to decide whetherthe company should continue to manufacture an engine component or purchase itfrom Frankfurt Corporation for $50 each in the next year Demand for the comingyear is expected to be the same as for the current year, 200,000 units. Data for thecurrent year is as follows: If BMW makes the components, the unit costs of direct material will increase by10%. If BMW buys the components, 30% of the fixed costs will be avoided. Theother 70% will continue regardless of whether the components are manufactured orpurchased. Assume that variable overhead varies with output volume. (1) Prepare a schedule that compares the make-or-buy alternatives. Show totals andamounts per unit. Compute the numerical difference between making and buying.Assume that the capacity now used to make the components will become idle if thecomponents are purchased
