Car Industries is considering making its own motor castings, which it currently purchases for $20.50 per unity. This purchase price does not include the ordering, receiving, and inspection costs, which Car estimates to be $2 per unit. Car feels that it can manufacture the 6,500 required units a lower cost than it pays by purchasing externally. The relevant costs for both the producing and buying alternatives are as follows:

Units 6500

Per Unit Cost to Make 6500 Units Cost to Buy ($20.50/unit)

Direct Materials $6.25 $40,625.00

Direct labor $10.00 $65,000.00

Variable factory overhead $5.00 $32,500.00

Purchase price $20.50 $133,250.00

Ordering, receiving, and inspection costs $2.00 $13,000.00

$138,125.00 $146,250.00

Assuming that Car's facilities will remain idle if they do not manufacture the casting, Car Industries would increase income by $8,125 per ($146,250-$138,125) by making the component instead of purchasing it. If, however, Car could use the idle capacity to manufacture a new product line instead of producing the motor castings, the contribution margin of the new product line must be considered as an opportunity cost of the "make" decision. The estimated revenue and cost data for the housings (new product line) are as follows:

Units 4,800

Per Unit

Sales revenue (4,800 units) $31.25 $150,000.00

Manufacturing Costs

Direct materials $10.00 $48,000.00

Direct labor $12.25 $58,800.00

Variable overhead $5.00 $24,000.00

Total $27.25 $130,800.00

Incremental Profit $4.00 $19,200.00
