Kerbow Corporation uses part B76 in one of its products. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the 12,000 units of the part that are needed every year. Per Unit $7.20 $7.10 $3.50 $4.70 Depreciation of special equipment $3.40 $2.40 Direct materials Direct labor Variable overhead Supervisor's salary Allocated general overhead An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $27.40 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company.
