Answer:
Difference=$1,800
This shows if Coleman buys, the net income will decrease by $1,800. So Coleman should make components.
Explanation:
Given Data:
Direct material=$7
Variable manufacturing overhead=$6
Direct labor=$4
Fixed manufacturing overhead=$5
Required:
Should Coleman make or buy the component?
Solution:
Total Variable cost=Direct material+Variable manufacturing overhead+Direct labor
Total Variable cost=$7+$6+$4
Total Variable cost=$17
Cost From making=Units*Total Variable cost
Cost From making=1800*$17
Cost From making=$30,600
Supplier Price=$18
Cost From Buying=1800*$18
Cost From Buying=$32,400
Difference=Cost From Buying-Cost From making
Difference=$32,400-$30,600
Difference=$1,800
This shows if Coleman buys, the net income will decrease by $1,800. So Coleman should make components.
