Question:
Han Products manufactures 23,000 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 | $ 3.70 |
---|---|
Direct labor | 11.00 |
Variable manufacturing overhead | 2.30 |
Fixed manufacturing overhead | 9.00 |
Total cost per part | $ 26.00 |
An outside supplier has offered to sell 23,000 units of part S-6 each year to Han Products for $22 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 $73,000. 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.
Required:
What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the outside suppliers offer?
