CreativeStationary Co., a stationary company, currently produces 15,000 units of fountain pen per
year. It is anticipated that their fountain pen production will last for the next three years.
• CreativeStationary Co. can continue to make the fountain pen on their own. The annual costs
are shown in the table below.
Item
Expense
Direct materials
$20,000
Direct labor
$100,000
Variables overhead (power)
$150,000
Fixed overhead (light and heat) $90,00
If Creative Stationary Co. plans to produce the product in-house, annual direct material costs and
the fixed overhead will remain at its current level over the next three years. However, the direct
labor will increase by $5,000 per year, and variable overhead costs will increase at the rate of 2%.
• Instead of making the pen by themselves, a vendor has offered to sell CreativeStationary Co.
units of fountain pens for $25 per unit. If CreativeStationary Co. choose to purchase from
vendor, some of the manufacturing facilities currently used to manufacture the fountain pen
could be rented to a third party for $25,500 per year.
The MARR is 4%.
