Question:
Han Products manufactures 55,500 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 as follows:
Direct materials ........................ $ 6.66
Direct labour ............................. 18.50
Variable overhead ...................... 4.44
Fixed overhead ......................... 16.65
Total cost per part .................. $46.25
An outside supplier has offered to sell 55,500 units of part S-6 each year to Han Products for $38.85 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 $148,000. However, Han Products has determined that two-thirds of the fixed overhead being applied to part S-6 would continue even if part S-6 were purchased from the outside supplier.
Required:
Prepare computations to show the net dollar advantage or disadvantage of accepting the outside supplier’s offer.
