Explanation:
<em>To determine whether to outsource the production of product X or not, we would compare the variable cost internal production to the external</em> <em>purchase price. And then adjust the net figure for the fixed costs.
</em>
<em>For a make or buy decision the relevant cash flows include </em>
1. the differential variable cost of the two options
2. savings from avoidable fixed costs associated with internal production
$
Variable cost internal production (2+7+5) 14
External buy in price <u>12</u>
Savings per unit of bought from outside <u> 2 </u>
Savings on 1000 units (2× 1,000) 2,000
Unavoidable fixed cost (2 × 1,000) <u> (2,000)</u>
Net change in profit <u> Nil </u>
<em>Note we assume that the fixed overhead is unavoidable. That is it will still be incurred whether or the product is outsourced </em>
