Make or Buy Desert Industries manufactures 5,000 units of Part X300 each month for use in production. The facilities now being used to produce Part X300 have fixed monthly overhead costs of $75,000, and a theoretical capacity to produce 7,000 units per month. If Desert were to buy Part X300 from an outside supplier, the facilities would be idle and 80% of the fixed costs would continue to be incurred. There are no alternative uses for the production facilities. The variable production costs of Part X300 are $34 per unit. Fixed overhead is allocated based on planned production levels. If Desert Industries continues to use 5,000 units of Part X300 each month, it would realize a net benefit by purchasing Part X300 from an outside supplier only if the supplier's unit price is less than what amount? $0 Check
Tamarisk Manufacturing incurs unit costs of $7.20 ($5.20 variable and $2.00 fixed) in making a sub-assembly part for its finished product. A supplier offers to make 17,200 of the parts for $5.70 per unit. If it accepts the offer, Tamarisk will save all variable costs and $1.00 of fixed costs. Prepare an analysis showing the total cost savings, if any, that Tamarisk will realize by buying the part. (Round per unit answers to 2 decimal places, eg. 15.25. If an amount reduces the net income then enter with a negative sign preceding the number, e.g.-15,000 or parenthesis, e.g. (15,000).)
