Answer:
It is cheaper to make the product in house.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor $250,000 Direct materials 300,000 Variable overhead 65,000 Fixed overhead 185,000 An outside supplier has offered to supply the tiller extensions for $720,000. If Zoomer accepts the offer $85,000 of fixed costs can be avoided.
We will calculate the total cost of both options:
Make in the house:
Total cost= 250,000 + 300,000 + 65,000 + 185,000= $800,000
Buy:
Total cost= 720,000 + 100,000= $820,000
It is cheaper to make the product in house.
