Question

Harvey Automobiles uses a standard part in the manufacture of several of its trucks. The cost of producing 40,000 parts is $120,000, which includes fixed costs of $60,000 and variable costs of $60,000. The company can buy the part from an outside supplier for $3.00 per unit, and avoid 30% of the fixed costs.

If Harvey Automobiles makes the part, how much will its operating income be?

Select one:

a. $42,000 greater than if the company bought the part

b. $42,000 less than if the company bought the part

c. $78,000 greater than if the company bought the part

d. $78,000 less than if the company bought the part

Explanation / Answer

bought=40,000*3=$120,000

make=60,000+60,000*70%=$102,000
