for this question ,I attached solutions for you to quickly refer ,I don understand the solution 2, why when we calculate reduction of other variable costs ,have to (80000-50000)? and for solution 3 ,using (80000-70000)

All units produced are sold , and there are no Ending inventories of subassemblies . Henderson is considering making the subassembly rather than buying it Unit, variable manufacturing costs are as follows : Direct materials $2 Direct labour " $ 3 Variable overhead "I'WO alternatives exist to supply the productive capacity : \\Lease the needed space and equipment at a cost of $27, 000 per quarter for the space and \\$10, 000 per quarter for a supervisor . No other fixed expenses are incurred . 2 . \\Drop Product B . The equipment could be adapted with virtually no cost and the existing space utilised to produce the subassembly . The direct fixed expenses , including supervision , would be $38.000 , $8, 000 of which is depreciation on equipment If Product B is dropped the sales of Product A will not be affected Required : _relevant Costs a Should Henderson Company make or buy the subassembly ? If it makes the subassembly , which alternative should be chosen ? Explain and provide supporting computations . \\( 8 marks ) b. Suppose that dropping B will decrease sales of A by 6 per cent. What effect does this have on the decision ? \\( 7 marks ) C. \\Assume that dropping $ decreases sales of A by 6 percent and that 2, 800 subassemblies are required per quarter . As before , assume that there are no ending inventories of subassemblies and that all units produced are sold . Assume also that the per - unit sales price and variable costs are the same as in Requirement ( a ) . Include the leasing alternative in your consideration .

The correct decision now is to keep B and buy the component. Page: 2et3 Worde 615 5 English (Australia) e DOW P
