Answer:

It is cheaper to produce in-house. Cost savings= $3500

Explanation:

We need to find whether it is better to produce in-house or to purchase to a supplier.

Q= 175000

Produce in house:

Direct Materials $15,000

Direct Labor $5,000

Variable overhead $6,000

Fixed overhead $9,000

Total cost= $35000

Outsource:

Purchase Cost= 175000q*$0.18= $31500

Fixed Cost= (9000-2000)= $7000

Total cost=$38500

It is cheaper to produce in-house. Cost savings= $3500

professor190 [17]

Answer:

$831,600

Explanation:

The budget must account for all of the production of the first quarter and 20% of the production of the second quarter, the number of boots considered in the budget is:

b= 48,000 +0.20*39,000\\b=55,800\ boots

Assuming that each boot uses exactly 2kg of raw material and that the company has 19,200 kg on hand, the amount of raw material still required is:

m = 2*55,800-19,200\\m=92,400\ kg

If the cost per kg is $9, then the budgeted materials purchases cost for the first quarter is:

C=92,400*\$9\\C=\$831,600

The budgeted materials purchases cost is $831,600.
