Answer:
Xia Co.
1-a. The relevant costs for Xia Co. to make or buy the part:
Direct materials $2.25
Direct labor 1.00
Incremental overhead 0.75
Total relevant cost $4.00
1-b. Xia should make the part. It will cost Xia $4.00 to make the component while it costs it $5.00 to buy. It should therefore, make the component.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Price of buying component = $5
Cost of making component:
Direct materials $2.25
Direct labor 1.00
Incremental overhead 0.75
Total relevant cost $4.00
b) The relevant cost for making the component is $4.00. The overhead cost based on 200% direct labor is not a relevant cost. It is an allocated fixed cost and must be incurred whatever decision is taken. By making the component, Xia Co. will be netting in a unit contribution of $1 ($5.00 - $4.00) with the alternative of buying.
