Question

At this level of activity, the cost per unit for part S-6 is: An outside supplier has offered to sell 16,000 units of part S-6 each year to Han Products for $50.00 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 $442,600. 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. Calculate the per unit and total relevant cost for buying and making the product
