Answer:
Incremental cost= $61,875
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Gelb Company currently manufactures 49,500 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $5.15 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $75,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $70,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.90 per unit
We need to determine whether it is more convenient to produce the component or outsource it. We will only consider the relevant costs, therefore the fixed costs will not be taken into account.
Make in house:
Cost= 49,500*5.15= $254,925
Buy:
Cost= 49,500*3.90= $193,050
Incremental cost= 254,925 - 193,050= $61,875
