An outside supplier has offered to make the part and
sell it to the company for $16.00 each. If this offer is
accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the
variable costs, including direct labor, can be avoided.
The special equipment used to make the part was
purchased many years ago and has no salvage value
or other use. The allocated general overhead
represents fixed costs of the entire company. If the
outside supplier's offer were accepted, only $5,000
of these allocated general overhead costs would be
avoided. In addition, the space used to produce part
E43 could be used to make more of one of the
company's other products, generating an additional
segment margin of $40,000 per year for that
product.
Required:
a. Prepare a report that shows the effect on the
company's total net operating income of buying part
E43 from the supplier rather than continuing to make
it inside the company.
