Question

Han Products manufactures 24,000 units of part S-6 each year for use on its production line. At this level of activity, the cost per unit for part S-6 is:

    

   

An outside supplier has offered to sell 24,000 units of part S-6 each year to Han Products for $42.50 per part. If Han Products accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to manufacture part S-6 could be rented to another company at an annual rental of $566,200. However, Han Products has determined that two-thirds of the fixed manufacturing overhead being applied to part S-6 would continue even if part S-6 were purchased from the outside supplier.

    

Calculate the per unit and total relevant cost for buying and making the product? (Round your Per Unit answers to 2 decimal places.)

        

    

      

Han Products manufactures 24,000 units of part S-6 each year for use on its production line. At this level of activity, the cost per unit for part S-6 is:

Explanation / Answer

a)

What is the total amount of avoidable costs if Han buys the units from an outside supplier?
Direct materials                         $5.00 x 24,000                                                              = $120,000
Direct labor                               $5.00 x 24,000                                                              = $120,000
Variable manufacturing overhead $4.20 x 24,000                                                             = $100,800
Fixed manufacturing overhead   ($15.00 x 24,000) x 1/3                                     = $120,000
Total avoidable costs                                                                                                    = $460,800

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)
How much will profits increase or decrease if the outside supplier's offer is accepted?

Total saving and Income=Total avoidable costs+ Rental Income =$1,027,000


The cost of buying                                                       (24,000 x 42.50)             $1,020,000

Total saving= $1,027,000-$1,020,000= $7,000
