Question :
(TCO D) Fouch Company makes 30,000 units per
year of a part it uses in the products it
manufactures. The unit product cost of this part is
computed as follows.
Direct Materials
$15.70
Direct Labor
$17.50
Variable Manufacturing Overhead
$4.50
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead
$14.60
Unit Product Cost
$52.30
An outside supplier has offered to sell the
company all of these parts it needs for $51.90 a
unit. If the company accepts this offer, the facilities
now being used to make the part could be used to
make more units of a product that is in high
demand. The additional contribution margin on
this other product would be $219,000 per year.
If the part were purchased from the outside
supplier, all of the direct labor cost of the part
would be avoided. However, $6.20 of the fixed
manufacturing overhead cost being applied to the
part would continue even if the part were
purchased from the outside supplier. This fixed
manufacturing overhead cost would be applied to
the company's remaining products.
Required:
i. How much of the unit product cost of $52.30 is
relevant in the decision of whether to make or buy
the part?
ii. What is the net total dollar advantage
(disadvantage) of purchasing the part rather than
making it?
iii. What is the maximum amount the company
should be willing to pay an outside supplier per
unit for the part if the supplier commits to
supplying all 30,000 units required each year?
