Assume that a company manufactures numerous component parts, one of which is called Part A. The company's absorption costing system indicates that it costs $23.00 to make one unit of Part A as shown below: Direct materials $ 10.00 Direct labor 6.00 Variable overhead 2.00 Fixed overhead 5.00 $ 23.00 Total absorption cost per unit The company is trying to decide between two alternatives: Alternative 1: Continue making 80,000 units of Part A per year using its existing equipment at the unit cost shown above. The equipment used to make this part does not wear out through use and it has no resale value. Alternative 2: Replace the existing equipment with a new piece of equipment that the company would rent for $150,000 per year. The new piece of equipment would be used to make 80,000 units per year and it would reduce Part A's direct labor cost per unit by 20% and its variable overhead per unit by 30%. The direct materials cost per unit will remain constant. What the financial advantage or (disadvantage) of renting the new piece of equipment?

Zion Manufacturing had always made its components in-house. However, Bryce Component Works had recently offered to supply one component, K2, at a price of $25 each. Zion uses 10 000 units of Component K2 each year. The cost per unit of this component is as follows: 1 Direct materials Direct labour Variable overhead Fixed overhead Total Refer to the information for Zion Manufacturing. The fixed overhead is an allocated expense; none of it would be eliminated if production of Component K2 stopped. Required: 2 3 $12.00 8.25 4.50 2.00 $26.75 What are the alternatives facing Zion Manufacturing with respect to production of Component K2? List the relevant costs for each alternative. If Zion decides to purchase the component from Bryce, by how much will operating income increase or decrease? Which alternative is better?
