Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $6 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 116,000 units of each product. Its average cost per unit for each product at this level of activity is given below: Direct labor Direct materials Variable manufacturing overhead Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead Variable selling expenses Common fixed expenses Total cost per unit Alpha Beta $ 30 $ 18 30 25 20 15 26 28 22 18 25 20 $ 153 $ 124 The company's traceable fixed manufacturing overhead is avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars. 10. Assume Cane expects to produce and sell 60,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier offered to manufacture and deliver 60,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $120 per unit. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 60,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units?
