Transcribed Image Text:### Cost Analysis for Manufacturing Decision: Make or Buy
Innova produces 1,100 units of the component IMC2 monthly. The manufacturing costs per unit are as follows:
- **Direct materials**: $55.34
- **Direct labor**: $39.31
- **Overhead**: $126.50
- **Total cost per unit**: $221.15
**Details of Overhead Costs:**
- **Variable material handling costs**: $6.50 (allocated based on direct material costs)
- Remaining overhead is allocated based on direct labor, consisting of 60% variable costs and 40% fixed costs.
A vendor proposes to supply the IMC2 component at $290.00 per unit.
### Incremental Analysis for Make or Buy Decision
This analysis assumes no fixed costs will be eliminated if production is outsourced.
#### Cost Comparison Table:
| Cost Component | Make IMC2 (per unit) | Buy IMC2 (per unit) | Net Income Increase (Decrease) |
|----------------------|----------------------|---------------------|-------------------------------|
| Direct material | $55.34 | | $55.34 |
| Direct labor | $39.31 | | $39.31 |
| Material handling | $6.50 | | $6.50 |
| Variable overhead | $72.00 | | $72.00 |
| Fixed overhead | | | |
| **Purchase price** | | $290.00 | |
| **Total unit cost** | **$173.15** | **$290.00** | **($116.85)** |
***Decision Point:***
Should Innova purchase the component from the outside vendor if Innova’s unused facilities remain idle?
**Answer: No.**
The analysis shows a $116.85 decrease in net income per unit if the component is bought instead of made in-house.
