Han Products manufactures 32,000 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 $ 3.60

Direct labor 9.00

Variable manufacturing overhead 2.40

Fixed manufacturing overhead 6.00

Total cost per part $ 21.00

An outside supplier has offered to sell 32,000 units of part S-6 each year to Han Products for $19 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 $82,000. 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.

Required:

What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the outside supplier's offer?

    The financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the outside supplier's offer is $ 46000

    Explanation:

    Han Products Manufacturers

    Per Unit Differential

    Costs 32000 units

    Make Buy Make Buy

    Purchases 21 672000

    Processing Cost

    Direct materials $ 3.60 115200

    Direct labor 9.00 288000

    Variable Mfg overhead 2.40 76800

    Fixed Mfg overhead 2.00 * 64000

    Total cost $ 17.00 21 544000 672000

    2/3 of the Fixed Mfg Cost will be charged and is not relevant if the parts are made or bought. (2/3 * 6 = $4)

    The facilities now being used to manufacture part S-6 could be rented to another company at an annual rental of $82,000 which is an opportunity cost.

    The complete analysis would be

    Make Buy

    Total Cost $544000 $ 672000

    Opportunity Cost (Rental Space) 82000

    Total Cost $ 626000 672000

    Financial Disadvantage to buy $ 46000

    It is better to make it internally than to buy from outside supplier.
