Answer:
For both 10,000 units and 20,000 units, the best alternative is Vendor B
Explanation:
Using the information provided in the question, we can write the following:
Annual Volume of 10,000 units
Internal Alternative 1
Variable costs = 170,000 (we multiply the variable cost per unit by total units)
Fixed costs = 20,000
Total costs = 370,000
Internal Alternative 2
Variable costs = 140,000
Fixed costs = 240,000
Total costs = 380,000
Vendor A
Total cost = 200,000 (we simply multiply the price by the quantity)
Vendor B
Total cost = 180,000
Vendor C
Total cost = 190,000
The cheapest option is Vendor B
Now for the 20,000 units:
Internal Alternative 1
Variable costs = 340,000
Fixed costs = 200,000
Total costs = 540,000
Internal Alternative 2
Variable costs = 280,000
Fixed costs = 240,000
Total costs = 520,000
Vendor A
Total cost = 400,000
Vendor B
Total cost = 360,000
Vendor C
Total cost = 380,000
Therefore, Vendor B is once again, the cheapest alternative.
