Question
Exercise 20-7 Riggs Company purchases sails and produces sailboats. It currently produces 1,270 sailboats per year, operating at normal capacity, which is about 80% of full capacity. Riggs purchases sails at $272 each, but the company is considering using the excess capacity to manufacture the sails instead. The manufacturing cost per sail would be $97.49 for direct materials, $87.79 for direct labor, and $90 for overhead. The $90 overhead includes $78,100 of annual fixed overhead that is allocated using normal capacity. The president of Riggs has come to you for advice. "It would cost me $275.28 to make the sails, she says, "but only $272 to buy them. Should I continue buying them, or have I missed something?" Prepare a per unit analysis of the differential costs. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.75. Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).) Net Income Increase (Decrease) Make Sails Buy Sails Direct material Direct labor Variable overhead Purchase price Total unit cost Should Riggs make or buy the sails? Riggs should the sails.

Note: Computation of Variable Oh per unit: Total overheads (1270 units @90) 114300 Less: Fixed overheads 78100 Variable overheads 36200 Divide: Number of units 1270 variable Oh per unit 28.5 Req b: Net loss on buying the sails (58.22*1270) -73939.4 Add: Rent revenue of unused capacity 77000 Net Financial advantage of buying 3060.6 Yes. This is because the net income has been increased by $ 3060.60
