lows: Direct materials $ 8 Direct labor 5 Variable manufacturing overhead 3 Fixed manufacturing overhead 5 Unit product cost $ 21 An outside supplier has offered to provide the annual requirement of 2,900 of the parts for only $16 each. The company estimates that 80% of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost above could be eliminated if the parts are purchased from the outside supplier.

Answer:

$4 advantage

Explanation:

In this question we need to compare the cost between the relevant cost and the outside supplier cost

The relevant cost is

= Direct material per unit + direct labor per unit + variable manufacturing overhead per unit + fixed manufacturing overhead per unit

= $8 + $5 + $3 + $5 × 80%

= $8 + $5 + $3 + $4

= $20

Since 80% of the fixed manufacturing cost above is eliminated so we considered the same

And, the outside supplier cost is $16

So based on the above calculation, the financial advantage is

= $20 - $16

= $4 advantage

This shows the company should purchased from outside supplier as it saves $4
