Question

Doyle Company manufactured 6,000 units of a component part that is used in its product and incurred the following costs:

            Direct materials                                              $35,000

            Direct labor                                                      15,000

            Variable manufacturing overhead                    10,000

            Fixed manufacturing overhead                      20,000

                                                                                   $80,000

Another company has offered to sell the same component part to the company for $13 per unit. The fixed manufacturing overhead consists mainly of depreciation on the equipment used to manufacture the part and would not be reduced if the component part was purchased from the outside firm. If the component part is purchased from the outside firm, Doyle Company has the opportunity to use the factory equipment to produce another product which is estimated to have a contribution margin of $22,000.
