EXERCISE 2B-1 Overhead Rate Based on Capacity LO2-6
Wixis Cabinets makes custom wooden cabinets for high-end stereo systems from specialty7 woods. The company uses a job-order costing system. The capacity7 of the plant is determined by the capacity7 of its constraint, which is time on the automated bandsaw that makes finely beveled cuts m wood according to the preprogrammed specifications of each cabinet. The bandsaw can operate up to 180 hours per month. The estimated total manufacturing overhead cost at capacity is $14,760 per month. The company bases its predetermined overhead rate on capacity7, so its predetermined overhead rate is $82 per hour of bandsaw use.

The average cost per tiny wheel at this level of activity is: S $10.50 $9.50 $ 3.95 $ 4.90 Multiple Choice Help Save & Exit (ID#13108) An outside manufacturer, called GreatWheel, recently began producing a comparable tiny wheel that could be used in the Beautiful Product. The price offered to RelyaTech Corporation to supply them with this tiny wheel is $26.95.

Q) What would be the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for RelyaTech as a result of continuing to make the wheels rather than buying them from the outside supplier?
