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?
The make or buy decision Lakeview Engine Inc. produces engines for the watercraft industry. An outside manufacturer has offered to supply several component parts used in the engine assemblies, which are currently being produced by Lakeview. The supplier will charge Lakeview $270 per engine for the set of parts. Lakeview's current costs for those part sets are direct materials, $160; direct labor, $80; and manufacturing overhead applied at 100% of direct labor. Variable manufacturing overhead is considered to be 20% of the total, and fixed overhead will not change if the part sets are acquired from the outside supplier. bd 1200 Required: Should Lakeview Engine continue to make the part sets or accept the offer to purchase them for $270?
