The management of ANP Ltd has asked for your assistance in deciding whether to continue manufacturing a part or to buy it from an outside supplier. The part, called PZ4, is a component of ANPs finished product. An analysis of the accounting records and the production data revealed the following information for the current year: I. Two (2) employees are assigned to the production department and work full time (1,940 hours each per year) producing PZ4. Each employee is paid $21 per hour; II. The cost of materials per PZ4 unit is $4.30 per unit; III. Production of PZ4 also includes other miscellaneous variable cost of $1.22 per unit. All the above manufacturing costs will be eliminated if Co Ltd outsourced PZ4 from an outside supplier. IV.
