Rubble Company must decide whether to make or buy some of its components. The costs of producing 63,900 switches for its generators are as follows.
Direct materials $30,410 Variable overhead $44,560 Direct labor $37,972 Fixed overhead $77,480
Instead of making the switches at an average cost of $2.98 ($190,422 ÷ 63,900), the company has an opportunity to buy the switches at $2.73 per unit. If the company purchases the switches, all the variable costs and one-fourth of the fixed costs will be eliminated.

Explanation / Answer

a) Incremental analysis

Make Buy Net income increase / (Decrease)

Direct material 30410 0 30410

Direct Labour 37972 0 37972

Variable overhead 44560 0 44560

Fixed Overhead 77480 58110 19370

Purcashe price(63900 unit*$2.73) 0 174447 (174447)

Total cost 190422 232557 (42135)

     

Therefore, the company should make the product , because by buying the product ,it will incur extra cost of $42135

Note:- Fixed overhead in Buy = $77480 * 1/4 (eliminated)

   = 19370

that means ,$58110 (77480 - 19370) is still incurred

20-3

   Sell Process Further Net income / (Decrease)

Sales 66 107 41

Cost per unit

   Variable 36 15 21

Fixed 11 2 9

Total 47 17 30

Net income 19 90 71

The company should process further the unit , becasue it will give additional income o f$71 (By reducing total cost and increaseing selling price per unit)
