Question:
Han Products manufactures 17,000 units of part S-6 each year for use on its production line. At this level of activity, the cost per unit for part S-6 is:
Direct materials | $ | 4.90 |
Direct labor | 6.00 | |
Variable manufacturing overhead | 2.80 | |
Fixed manufacturing overhead | 9.00 | |
Total cost per part | $ | 22.70 |
An outside supplier has offered to sell 17,000 units of part S-6 each year to Han Products for $42.00 per part. If Han Products accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to manufacture part S-6 could be rented to another company at an annual rental of $381,300. However, Han Products has determined that two-thirds of the fixed manufacturing overhead being applied to part S-6 would continue even if part S-6 were purchased from the outside supplier.
