InteliSystems needs 79,000 optical switches next year . By outsourcing them, InteliSystems can use its idle facilities to manufacture another product that will contribute $140,000 to operating income, but none of the fixed costs will be avoidable. Should InteliSystems make or buy the switches? Show your analysis based on the information in the table below for making 70,000 switches.
Swifty produces 1,000 units of necessary components with the following costs: Direct material - $30,000 Direct Labor - $19,000 Variable Overhead - $3,000 Fixed Overhead - $7,000. The Fixed Overhead costs cannot be reduced, but another product could be made that would increase profit contribution to $8,000 if the components were acquired externally. If cost maximization is a major consideration and the company would prefer to buy the components, what is the maximum external price that Swifty would be willing to accept for the 1,000 units externally?
What are the fixed overhead costs of making the component?
