Make or Buy, Qualitative Considerations Hetrick Dentistry Services operates in a large metropolitan area. Currently, Hetrick has its own dental laboratory to produce porcelain and gold crowns. The unit costs to produce the crowns are as follows: Porcelain Gold Raw materials $ 70 $130 Direct labor 27 27 Variable overhead 8. Fixed overhead 22 22 Total $127 $187 Fixed overhead is detailed as follows: Salary (supervisor) $26,000 Depreciation 5,000 Rent (lab facility) 32,000 Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours. These rates were computed by using 5,500 direct labor hours. A local dental laboratory has offered to supply Hetrick all the crowns it needs. Its price is $125 for porcelain crowns and $150 for gold crowns; however, the offer is conditional on supplying both types of crowns-it will not supply just one type for the price indicated. If the offer is accepted, the equipment used by Hetrick's laboratory would be scrapped (it is old and has no market value), and the lab facility would be closed. Hetrick uses 2,000 porcelain crowns and 600 gold crowns per year.

Harbortown Marine Products (HMP) manufactures and sells various fixtures for boat cabins. One fixture uses a specialized fitting that is not used in any other HMP product. The management of HMP has considered outsourcing the fitting for several years but has never identified a suitable supplier. HMP has collected the following data on the cost of the fitting: Materials $ 6.45 Labor 4.85 Manufacturing overhead 14.45 Total $ 25.75 Rivard Fittings, a local auto supplier, contacts HMP and tells them that because of the loss of one of Rivard's customers, there is enough capacity to produce up to 5,000 units of the fitting monthly. Rivard has offered to sell HMP any quantity (up to 5,000 units monthly) at a price of $20.15 per fitting. If Rivard supplies all of the 3,020 fittings currently produced by HMP, HMP will avoid all of the variable overhead associated with the fitting and one-third of the fixed overhead. Management estimates that variable overhead for the fitting is…
