! Required information Self-Study Problem 11-2 (Algo) The Make-vs.-Buy Decision [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Highvalu Incorporated manufactures a moderately priced set of lawn furniture (a table and four chairs) that it sells for $320. The company currently manufactures and sells 7,900 sets per year. The manufacturing costs include $104 for direct materials and $64 for direct labor per set. The overhead charge per set is $54, which consists entirely of fixed costs. Assume that Highvalu currently purchases the chair cushions for its lawn set from an outside vendor for $21 per set. HighValu's chief operations officer wants an analysis of the comparative costs of manufacturing these cushions to determine whether bringing the manufacturing in-house would save the company money. Additional information shows that if HighValu were to manufacture the cushions, the direct materials cost would be $8 and the direct labor cost would be $6 per set. In…
