The ABC Company makes 40,000 motors to be used in the production of its sewing
machines. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is:
Direct materials
Direct labor
Variable manufacturing overhead
Fixed manufacturing overhead
O ($92,000)
$276,000
$178,000
$5.50
$86,000
$5.60
An outside supplier recently began producing a comparable motor that could be used in
the sewing machine. The price offered to ABC Company for this motor is $18. If ABC
Company decides not to make the motors, there would be no other use for the
production facilities and none of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost could be
avoided. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of
making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier would be:
$4.75
$4.45
