Question:
Taylor S.p.A. produces in a specialized department a component (annual volume: 2000 units); costs of the company are summarized below:
Profit and Loss Statement (costs section) |
|
Raw materials (referred to purchased volume of 2.000 units) | € 60.000 |
Direct labor (referred to activity of 1.500 units) | € 75.000 |
Depreciation (machinery) | € 20.000 |
Security and Insurance of industrial plant | € 15.000 |
Machinery power (only fixed fee) | € 18.000 |
General overhead costs | € 50.000 |
An external supplier offers the same component at a unitary price equals to 110 €. Knowing that:
- Machineries are transferable to third parties at € 100.000, with a capital gain of € 30.000;
- Machineries used have been not completely paid to the machinery-supplier, there is a debit of € 5.000 yet;
- Machineries used have a counter which measure their variable machinery power;
- Direct labor is 35% employable in another department; the 65% of direct work is not re-employable
- General costs refer to the whole company
Determine whether Taylor S.p.A. has economic convenience or not in accepting the supplier offer and calculate the advantage.
