Question:
An outside supplier has offered to sell 28,500 units of part S-6 each year to Han Products for $22.75 per part. If Xian 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 $86,000. However, Xian Products has determined that 30% of the fixed overhead being applied to part S-6 will be avoided if part S-6 is purchased from the outside supplier.
Required:
1. What is the net dollar advantage or disadvantage of accepting the outside suppliers offer? (Round "Total costs" and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
2. What is the annual rental value at which the company will be indifferent between the two options? (Round "Total costs" and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
