External Linkages, Activity-Based Supplier Costing Jackson, Inc., manufactures motorcycles. Jackson produces all the components necessary for the production of the cycles except for one (a carburetor). This component is purchased from two local suppliers: Harvey Parts and Curtis, Inc. Harvey sells the component for $62 per unit, while Curtis sells the same component for $56. Because of the lower price, Jackson purchases 75 percent of its components from Curtis. Jackson purchases the remaining 25 percent from Harvey to ensure an alternative source. The total annual demand is 157,000 carburetors. Harvey's sales manager is pushing Jackson to purchase more of its units, arguing that its component is of much higher quality and so should prove to be less costly than Curtis's lower-quality component. Harvey has sufficient capacity to supply all the carburetors needed and is asking for a long-term contract. With a five-year contract for 117,750 or more units, Harvey will sell the component for $59 per unit with a contractual provision for an annual product-specific inflationary adjustment. Jackson's purchasing manager is intrigued by the offer and wonders if the higher-quality carburetor actually does cost less than the lower-quality Curtis carburetor. To help assess the cost effect of the two products, the following data were collected for quality-related activities and suppliers: I. Activity data: Activity Cost Inspecting components (sampling only) $ 167,610 Expediting work (due to late delivery) 138,620 Reworking products (due to failed component) 957,600 Warranty work (due to failed component) 1,707,650 II.

External Linkages, Activity-Based Supplier Costing

Jackson, Inc., manufactures motorcycles. Jackson produces all the components necessary for the production of the cycles except for one (a carburetor). This component is purchased from two local suppliers: Harvey Parts and Curtis, Inc. Harvey sells the component for $62 per unit, while Curtis sells the same component for $56. Because of the lower price, Jackson purchases 75 percent of its components from Curtis. Jackson purchases the remaining 25 percent from Harvey to ensure an alternative source. The total annual demand is 157,000 carburetors.

Harvey's sales manager is pushing Jackson to purchase more of its units, arguing that its component is of much higher quality and so should prove to be less costly than Curtis's lower-quality component. Harvey has sufficient capacity to supply all the carburetors needed and is asking for a long-term contract. With a five-year contract for 117,750 or more units, Harvey will sell the component for $59 per unit with a contractual provision for an annual product-specific inflationary adjustment. Jackson's purchasing manager is intrigued by the offer and wonders if the higher-quality carburetor actually does cost less than the lower-quality Curtis carburetor. To help assess the cost effect of the two products, the following data were collected for quality-related activities and suppliers:

I. Activity data:
	Activity	Cost
	Inspecting components (sampling only)	$	167,610
	Expediting work (due to late delivery)		138,620
	Reworking products (due to failed component)		957,600
	Warranty work (due to failed component)		1,707,650

II. Supplier data:
		Harvey	Curtis
	Unit purchase price	$62	$56
	Units purchased	39,250	117,750
	Expediting orders	30	260
	Sampling hours*	80	4,450
	Rework hours	290	4,270
	Warranty hours	280	5,670

*The Quality Control Department indicates that sampling inspection for the Harvey component has been reduced because the reject rate is so low.

Required:

1. Calculate the cost per component for each supplier, taking into consideration the costs of the quality-related activities and using the current prices and sales volume. If required, round your unit cost answers to the nearest cent.
