An outside supplier has offered to sell 28,000 units of part S-6 each year to Han Products for $21 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 $78,000. 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.

Required:

What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the outside supplier’s offer?

Direct materials $ 3.60 Direct labor 11.00 Variable manufacturing overhead 2.40 Fixed manufacturing overhead 6.00 Total cost per part $ 23.00

Particulars Make Buy Direct materials (28000*3.60) 100800 Direct labor(28000 * 11) 308000 Variable manufacturing overhead(28000 * 2.40) 67200 Fixed manufacturing overhead(28000 * 6)*1/3 56000 Outside purchase price 588000 Rental value of space 78000 TOTAL COST 610000 588000 Profit increase for buying[610000-588000] 22000   If the outside supplier's offer has been accepted, the profit will increase by 22000. *out side purchase price = 28000 * 21 = 588000
