Answer 1

Answer:

If the part is bought, the company will save $50,400. In other terms, net income will increase by $50,400.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Talbot's costs to produce 210,000 wheels annually are:

Direct materials $42,000

Direct labor $63,000

Variable manufacturing overhead $31,500

Avoidable fixed manufacturing overhead= 24,000

An outside supplier has offered to sell Talbot similar wheels for $0.80 per wheel.

If the wheels are purchased from the outside supplier, $24,000 of annual fixed overhead could be avoided and the facilities now being used could be rented to another company for $57,900 per year.

First, we need to calculate the total cost of production:

Total cost= 42,000 + 63,000 + 31,500 + 24,000= $160,500

Now, the total cost of buying:

Total cost= 210,000*0.80 - 57,900= $110,100

If the part is bought, the company will save $50,400.
