Answer:
It is cheaper to buy the part. The company will save $5,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
UNitary production cost:
Direct Materials $10.50
Direct labor $24.00
Variable factory overhead $ 5.50
Total avoidable Fixed factory overhead= (12*1,000) - 5,000= 7,000
Larson Company has offered to sell 1,000 units of the same part to Scott Corporation for $42 per unit.
First, we need to calculate the total cost of making the units:
Total cost= (10.5 + 24 + 5.5)*1,000 + 7,000= $47,000
Now, the total cost of buying them:
Buy= 1,000*42= $42,000
It is cheaper to buy the part. The company will save $5,000.
