Question:
Lakeside Inc. produces a product that currently sells for $36 per unit. Current production costs per unit include direct materials, $10; direct labor, $12; variable overhead, $5; and fixed overhead, $5. Product engineering has determined that a certain part of the product conversion process could be outsourced. Raw material costs would not be affected, but direct labor and variable overhead costs would be reduced by 30%. No other opportunity is currently feasible for unused production capacity.
Question - What would be the net cost advantage if Lakeview decided to outsource part of the conversion process at a cost of $4 per unit?(Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
