Edidas Company needs 20,000 units of Part GX to use in producing one of its products. If Edidas buys the Part GX from McMillan Company for $79 instead of making it, Edidas will not use the released facilities in another manufacturing activity. Twenty percent of the fixed overhead will continue irrespective of CEO Donald Mickey's decision. The cost per unit data are as follows: Cost to make the part Direct Materials Direct Labor Variable Overhead Fixed Overhead (S) 30 15 20 20 85 Required : 1. Explain which alternative is more attractive to Edidas, make or buy Part GX. 2. Assume there is new information that Edidas is negotiating to purchase cheaper raw materials from supplier (Twenty percent lower price). Is this information relevant or irrelevant? On the basis of financial considerations alone, should Edidas make or buy Part GX? Show your calculations 3. Based on requirement 2, what are relevant qualitative factors that Edidas should consider to decide whether to make or buy Part GX? (at least one factor for each decision [Make or Buy])

Sheffield Corp. incurs the following costs to produce 10500 units of a subcomponent: Direct materials Direct labor Variable overhead Fixed overhead $(3600). $9200 Ⓒ$8150. $950. $(950). 11750 13000 An outside supplier has offered to sell Sheffield the subcomponent for $2.80 a unit. No fixed costs are avoidable. If Sheffield accepts the offer, it could use the production capacity to produce another product that would generate additional income of $3600. The increase (decrease) in net income from accepting the offer would be 20800

A company makes 36,000 motors to be used in the production of its blender. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead An outside supplier recently began producing a comparable motor that could be used in the blender. The price offered to the company for this motor is $23.95. There would be no other use for the production facilities and none of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost could be avoided. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier would be: Multiple Choice O O O ($68,400) $214,200 $9.50 $ 8.50 $ 3.45 $ 4.40 90,000 $158,400

Lakeside Incorporated produces a product that currently sells for $46.80 per unit. Current production costs per unit include direct materials, $13; direct labor, $15; varlable overhead, $6.50; and fixed overhead, $6.50. Product engineering has determined that a certain part of the product conversion process could be outsourced. Raw material costs would not be affected, but direct labor and variable overhead costs would be reduced by 30%. No other opportunity is currently feasible for unused production capacity. Required: a. What would be the net cost advantage or disadvantage if Lakeview decided to outsource part of the conversion process at a cost of $5.20 per unit? Note: Do not round your Intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places. b. Should Lakeside outsource part of the conversion process at a cost of $5.20 per unit? a. b. Should Lakeside outsource conversion process at this cost?

Hawkins Audio Video, Inc. manufactures digital cameras. Hawkins is considering whether it should outsource production of a part used in the manufacturing of its cameras. 60,000 units of the part were made by Hawkins last year. At this production level, the company incurred the following direct product costs: Direct Materials $250,000 Direct Labor $104,000 Manufacturing Overhead incurred during the same period for production of the part is represented by the following cost behavior equation: y = $0.10x + $50,000. If the part were purchased from an outside supplier, 80% of the total fixed manufacturing overhead cost would continue, and 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 income from this other product would be $12,600 per year. A supplier has been identified who can sell the part to Hawkins at a price of $7.80 per unit. Which of…
