Exercise 23-5 Make or buy A1
Gelb Company currently manufactures 40,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $1.95 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $65,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $58,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.50 per unit. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier? Support your decisions with analysis of the data provided.

Question 17
Voltaic Electronics uses a standard part in the manufacture of different types of radios. The total cost of producing 35,000
parts is $105,000, which includes fixed costs of $50,000 and variable costs of $55,000. The company can buy the part from
an outside supplier for $2 per unit and avoid 20% of the fixed costs. Assume that the company can use the freed
manufacturing space to make another product that can earn a profit of $16,000. If Voltaic outsources, what will be the effect
on operating income?
O decrease of $10.000
increase of $16,000
increase of $11.000

Question 1
Vandelay Industries has been manufacturing its own touch screens for its cellular phones. The company is currently operating at 100% of capacity. Variable manufacturing overhead is charged to production
at the rate of 55% of direct labor cost. The direct materials and direct labor cost per unit to make the touch screens are $3.90 and $5.90, respectively. Normal production is 38,000 cellular phones per year.
A supplier offers to make the touch screens at a price of $13.59 per unit. If Vandelay Industries accepts the supplier's offer, all variable manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the $36.860 of fixed
manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the touch screens will remain.
A) Prepare the incremental analysis for the decision to make or buy the touch screens.
B) Based on the quantitative factors, would you recommend that Vandelay Industries continue to make the touch screens, or buy them from the supplier? Are there any qualitative factors to consider aside…
Question 10.4
Wild Oats Company makes 30,000 units per year of a part that it uses in the products it manufactures. The unit product cost of this part is computed as follows:
Direct Materials
Direct Labour
$24.00
Variable Manufacturing Overhead
$13.00
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead
$4.00
Unit Product Cost
$12.20
$53.20
An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all the parts that Wild Oats needs for $50.00 a unit. If the company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin on this other product would be $45,000 per year. If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, all of the direct labour cost of the part would be avoided. However, $5.60 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost that is…
