Question

Bronson Corporation incurs the following annual costs in producing 30,000 video cards for computers: However, if Bronson purchases the video cards from another company at a cost of $10 per card, what would be the increase (decrease) in net income if no fixed costs can be eliminated?

Answer 1

Answer: ($60,000)

Explanation:

Fixed cost is a cost that doesn't vary alongside production level. It should be noted that the relevant cost for production will be addition of the direct materials to the direct labour and the variable maufacturing overhead. This will be:

= $60,000 + $80,000 + $100,000

= $240,000

The relevant costs that will be bought will be:

= 30,000 × $10

= $300,000

Therefore there'll be decrease in net income by:

= $300,000 - $240,000

= $60,000

The answer will be ($60,000)
