Hahn Manufacturing purchases a key component of one of its products from a local supplier. The current purchase price is

$1,600

per unit. Efforts to standardize parts succeeded to the point that this same component can now be used in five different products. Annual component usage should increase from

150

to

900

units. Management wonders whether it is time to make the component in-house, rather than to continue buying it from the supplier. Fixed costs would increase by about

$75,000

per year for the new equipment and tooling needed. The cost of raw materials and variable overhead would be about

$1,200

per unit, and labor costs would be $ 250 per unit produced.
