Direct materials
Direct labor
Variable manufacturing overhead
Fixed manufacturing overhead
Unit product cost
An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs for $41.80 each. If the company accepts this offer, the
facilities now being used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product for an additional contribution margin of
$62,400 per year,
$12.70
20.30
2.50
10.40
$45.90
If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, $5.70 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost being applied to the part would
continue. This fixed manufacturing overhead cost would be applied to the company's remaining products.
a. How much of the unit product cost of $45.90 is relevant in the decision of whether to make or buy the part? (Round "Per Unit" to 2
decimal places.)
b. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of purchasing the part rather than making it?
