Part U67 is used in one of Broce Corporation\'s products. The company\'s Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the 16,800 units of the part that are needed every year.

	Per Unit
Direct materials	$	4.00
Direct labor	$	4.70
Variable overhead	$	7.70
Supervisor\'s salary	$	8.40
Depreciation of special equipment	$	9.00
Allocated general overhead	$	6.00

An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $33.00 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor\'s salary and all of the variable costs, including direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company. If the outside supplier\'s offer were accepted, only $22,800 of these allocated general overhead costs would be avoided.

Required:

a. Prepare a report that shows the financial impact of buying part U67 from the supplier rather than continuing to make it inside the company.

b. Which alternative should the company choose?

Q2- Brissett Corporation makes three products that use the current constraint, which is a particular type of machine. Data concerning those products appear below:

	GK	LQ	XK
Selling price per unit	$	326.27	$	543.53	$	501.00
Variable cost per unit	$	251.97	$	420.78	$	397.63
Time on the constraint (minutes)		3.20		7.20		8.00

Required:

a. Rank the products in order of their current profitability from the most profitable to the least profitable. In other words, rank the products in the order in which they should be emphasized.

b. Assume that sufficient constraint time is available to satisfy demand for all but the least profitable product. Up to how much should the company be willing to pay to acquire more of the constrained resource? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
