Due to a reduction in output of some of its products, the company has idle capacity that could be used to produce the starters. The chief engineer has recommended against this move, however, pointing out that the cost to produce the starters would be greater than the current $13 per unit purchase price: Direct materials Direct labour Supervision Depreciation Variable manufacturing overhead Rent Total production cost Per Unit $ Total 5 4 2 $90,000 2 60,000 1 0.5 $14.50 20,000 A supervisor would have to be hired to oversee production of the starters. However, the company has sufficient idle tools and machinery that no new equipment would have to be purchased. The rent charge above is based on space utilized in the plant.

Depreciation is due to obsolescence, rather than wear and tear Required: Prepare computations to show the dollar advantage or disadvantage per period of making the starters. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Dollar advantage
