Scott Corporation produces a part for use in the production of one of its products. The per-unit costs associated with the annual production of 1,000 units of this part are as follows: Direct Materials $10.50 $24.00 Direct labor Variable factory overhead $5.50 Fixed factory overhead $12.00 Total Costs $52.00 $5,000 of the fixed factory overhead costs associated with the production of this product are common fixed costs. Larson Company has offered to sell 1,000 units of the same part to Scott Corporation for $42 per unit. Scott should: Select one: a. buy the part, because this would save $10.00 per unit. X b. buy the part, because this would save the company $5,000 annually. c. make the part, because this would save the company $5,000 annually. d. make the part, because this would save $2.00 per unit.
CM Manufacturing has provided the following unit costs pertaining to a component they manufacture and use in the production of one of their main products: Direct materials $315 Direct labor (variable) 96 Variable manufacturing overhead 72 Fixed manufacturing overhead 29 A supplier has offered to provide the component to CM manufacturing for 500 per unit. CM Manufacturing currently has no plans to use idle space that would be created if accepting offer from supplier.

Gallerani Corporation has received a request for a special order of 5,600 units of product A90 for $27.50 each. Product A90's unit product cost is $27.25, determined as follows: $ 2.85 8.15 Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead 7.25 9.00 Unit product cost $27.25 Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like modifications made to product A90 that would increase the variable costs by $3.90 per unit and that would require an investment of $28,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be: Multiple Cholce ($48,440) $1.960 $1.400 ($85.960)
