the question carefully so that you can attach the correct sign (+ or -) to your numerical answer. between these two total cost numbers. Make Oxford Engineering manufactures small engines. The engines are sold to manufacturers who install them in such products as lawn mowers. The company currently manufactures all the parts used in these engines but is considering a proposal from an external supplier to supply the starter assembly used in these engines The starter assembly is currently manufactured in Division 3 of Oxford Engineering. Last year, Division 3 manufactured 158,000 starter assemblies, but over the next several years, it is expected that 194,000 assemblies will be needed each year. Total costs related to the starter assembly for last year were as follows: Direct material Direct labor Total overhead Total $312.540 $214,850 $632,000 $1,159,720 Further analysis of overhead revealed the following information $189,600 of total overhead was variable $112.000 of the fored overhead were allocated costs that will continue even the production of the starter assembly is discontinued Tidnish Electronics, a reliable supplier, has offered to supply starter assembly units at $5.00 per unit. If the company buys the assembly from Tidnish, the vacated plant space could be used for storage and, in so doing, avoid $30,000 of outside storage charges currently incurred. REQUIRED By how much will Oxford Engineering's total profits change if they decide to buy the starter assembly from Tidnish Electronics Instead of making it themselves? (Note: the buy costs are less than the make costs, enter the difference as a positive number; the buy costs are more than the make costs, enter the difference as a negative number) Submit Anwer Tries 0/B Oxford Engineering manufactures small engines.
