Explanation / Answer

2 B) $7350

Relevant cost per unit if product is manufactured = ($8400 + $11250 + $12600) / 10000 = $3.225

Relevant cost per unit if product is purchased = $2.85 - $3600/10000 = $2.49

The cost to manufacture us more than cost to buy. Hence it would be profitable to buy the product.

Savings per unit in case product is purchased = $3.225 - $2.49 = $0.735

Net increase in profit = $0.735 * 10000 units = $7350

3 D Manufacture further and sell it for $80,000.

By incurring an additional cost of $24000, the total cost would increase to ($24000 + $24000) = $48000

Selling price after processing would be $80000

Net profit would be $80000 - $48000 = $32000

Profit before processing = $32000 - $24000 = $8000

By further processing the profit can be increased by $24000 ($32000 - $8000)
