Question

Han Products manufactures 29,000 units of part S-6 each year for use on its production line. At this level of activity, the cost per unit for part S-6 is:

    


  Direct materials $ 4.60
  Direct labor 7.00
  Variable manufacturing overhead 3.20
  Fixed manufacturing overhead 9.00

  Total cost per part $ 23.80

   

An outside supplier has offered to sell 29,000 units of part S-6 each year to Han Products for $47.00 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 $849,800. 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.
