ACCT 225 - Managerial Accounting Case Assignment 2 Part 4-B: Make or Buy Analysis (7 marks) Following your analysis of the Boots product line for the Alberta and Saskatchewan regions, the owners of the company began to consider if there were additional opportunities respecting the Boot product line. The owners considered that the problem with the Boot line was mainly respecting the innovative production and superior manufacturing equipment used by competitors. They were confident with the continued sales given their strong distribution channel. As such, the owners asked you to analyze the viability of the following options with respect to the most popular Boot produced and sold by the company. Option 1: Continue the production of the specific Boot in Vancouver with upgrades to the equipment to align with the equipment used by the company's competitors. The new new equipment will have a five year useful life with no salvage value. Dynamadics uses straight-line depreciation for this type of equipment Cost of new equipment $567,000 Option 2: Purchase Boots from an outside Supplier under a five year contract and leverage the existing distribution functions to continue sales to domestic and international customers. 41.02 32.28 70.30 Cost per pair of boots $152.00 Note: for simlicity, all information is presented on the basis that a pair of boots is considered a unit.

These costs are: $ 903,000 New equipment's capacity is 903,000 units per year. The company has no other use for the space being used to produce this line of boots Old equipment has no resale value Total general company overhead would be unaffected by this decision Requirement: SA IME 1. Calculate the total costs and costs per unit under the two alternatives. Assume the stated units of production are expected to be produced for sale each year. (Tip: depreciation per unit will need to be calculated considering the life of the asset and the number of units being produced). 2. Based on your analysis, provide a recommendation to the owners.
