Exercise 13-3 (Algo) Make or Buy Decision [LO13-3] Troy Engines, Limited, manufactures a variety of engines for use in heavy equipment. The company has always produced all of the necessary parts for its engines, including all of the carburetors. An outside supplier has offered to sell one type of carburetor to Troy Engines, Limited, for a cost of $34 per unit. To evaluate this offer, Troy Engines, Limited, has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the carburetor internally: Total cost Per 21,000 Units Per Unit Year Direct materials $ 14 $ 294,000 Direct labor 12 252,000 Variable manufacturing overhead 2 42,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable 98 189,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated 12 252,000 $ 49 $ 1,029,000 *One-third supervisory salaries, two-thirds depreciation of special equipment (no resale value). Required: 1. Assuming the company has no alternative use for the facilities that are now being used to produce the carburetors, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 21,000 carburetors from the outside supplier? 2. Should the outside supplier's offer be accepted? 3. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Limited, could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $210,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 21,000 carburetors from the outside supplier? 4. Given the new assumption in requirement 3, should the outside supplier's offer be accepted? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below.

The segment margin of the new product would be $210,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 21,000 carburetors from the outside supplier? Financial advantage Come-Clean Corporation produces a variety of cleaning compounds and solutions for both Industrial and household use. While most of its products are processed Independently, a few are related, such as the company's Grit 337 and its Sparkle silver polish. Grit 337 is a coarse cleaning powder with many Industrial uses. It costs $1.20 a pound to make, and it has a selling price of $4.40 a pound. A small portion of the annual production of Grit 337 is retained in the factory for further processing. It is combined with several other Ingredients to form a paste that is marketed as Sparkle silver polish. The silver polish sells for $4.00 per jar. This further processing requires one-fourth pound of Grit 337 per jar of silver polish. The additional direct variable costs Involved in the processing of a jar of Silver polish are: Other ingredients Direct labor Total direct cost $8.55 1.32 $ 1.87 Overhead costs associated with processing the silver polish are: 25% of direct labor cost Variable manufacturing overhead cost Fixed manufacturing overhead cost (per month) Production supervisor $ 3,300 Depreciation of mixing equipment $ 1,480 The production supervisor has no duties other than to oversee production of the silver polish. The mixing equipment is special- purpose equipment acquired specifically to produce the silver polish. It can produce up to 9,000 jars of polish per month. Its resale value is negligible and it does not wear out through use. Advertising costs for the silver polish total $1,700 per month. Variable selling costs associated with the silver polish are 5% of sales. Due to a recent decline in the demand for silver polish, the company is wondering whether its continued production is advisable. The sales manager feels that it would be more profitable to sell all of the Grit 337 as a cleaning powder. Required: 1. How much Incremental revenue does the company earn per jar of polish by further processing Grit 337 rather than selling it as a cleaning powder? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 2. How much Incremental contribution margin does the company eam per jar of polish by further processing Grit 337 rather than selling it as a cleaning powder? (Round your Intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.) 3. How many Jars of silver polish must be sold each month to exactly offset the avoidable fixed costs incurred to produce and sell the polish? (Round your Intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.) 4. If the company sells 7,100 jars of polish, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of choosing to further process Grit 337 rather than selling is as a cleaning powder? (Enter any "disadvantages" as a negative value. Round your Intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.) 5. If the company sells 11,200 Jars of polish, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of choosing to further process Grit 337 rather than selling is as a cleaning powder? (Enter any disadvantages" as a negative value. Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.) $ 3.10 per jar per jar 1. Incremental revenue 2. Incremental contribution margin 3.
