"That old equipment for producing oll drums is worn ovt," said Bul Seeboch, president of Hondrich Company "Wle need to make a decision quickly." The company is trying to decide whether it should rent new equipment and continue to make its oir drums internally or whether it should discontinue production and purchase them from an outside supplier. The atternatives follow Afternative : Rent new equipment for producing the oll drums for $147.000 per year. A/temative 2. Purchase oll drums from an outside supplier for $18.80 each. Hondrich Company's costs per unit of producing the oil drums internally (with the old equipment) are given below. There costs are based on a current activity level of 30,000 units per year: The new equipment would be more efficient and, according to the manufacturer, would reduce direct tabour costs and variable overhead costs by 25%. Supervision cost ( $73.500 per year) and direct materials cost per unit would not be affected by the ne equipment. The new equipment's capacity would be 50,000 oil drums per year. The total general company overhead would be unaffected by this decision. Requiredt 1. Seebach is unsure what the company should do and would like an analysis showing the unit costs and total cons for each of the two aitematives given above. Assume that 30,000 oll drums are needed each yeat. a. What will be the total relevant cost of 30,000 subassemblies if they are manufactured internally as compared co being putchased? b. What would be the per unit cost of the each subassembly manufactured internally? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. Which course of action would you recommend to the president? Manufacture internally Purchase from the outside supplier Indifferent between the two altematives 2.
