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 $4.20 per unit and that would require an investment of
$21,000 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:

The managers are trying to decide whether to make one of its components or to buy it from an outside supplier. The space that could be used to make the part has no alternative use. The outside supplier will sell the part to ABC for P800 per unit. Following is an estimate of per-unit costs if ABC makes the part: Materials P225 ; Direct labor P250 ; Variable manufacturing overhead P225 ; Fixed manufacturing overhead P325. Fixed manufacturing overhead consists of depreciation on machinery and a share of the costs of the factory based on the floor space that manufacturing the part would occupy. Determine whether ABC should make or buy the part. Also you have to indicate the amount favoring the better alternative. please answerarrow_forward

- Lakeside Inc. produces a product that currently sells for $82.80 per unit. Current production costs per unit include direct materials, $23; direct labor, $25; variable overhead, $11.50; and fixed overhead, $11.50.

Due to a reduction in output, the company now has idle capacity that could be used to produce the starters rather than buying them from an outside supplier. However, the company's chief engineer is opposed to making the starters because the production cost per unit is $13.10 as shown below: Direct materials.
