Problem 2 (Make or Buy a Component) Diamond Inc., manufactures a variety of heating and air-conditioning units. The company is currently manufacturing all of its own component parts. An outside supplier has offered to sell a thermostat to Diamond for P200 per unit. To evaluate this offer, Diamond Inc., has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the thermostat internally. Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable Fixed manufacturing overhead, common, but allocated Total cost 40% supenvisory salaries; 60% depreciation of special equipment (no resale value) Per unit P 60 80 10 50 100 P 300 15,000 units per year 900,000 1,200.000 150,000 750,000 1.500.000 P 4, 500,000 Required 1. Assuming that the company has no alternative use for the facilities now being used to produce the thermostat, should the outside supplier's offer be accepted? Show all computations. 2. Suppose that if the thermostats were purchased, Diamond Inc., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be P650,000 per year.
