Outsourcing (Make-or-Buy) Decision

Answer 1

Answer:

If the company makes the units, it will save $7,000 per period.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Make in-house:

Number of units= 16,000

Variable cost per unit= $22

Avoidable fixed cost per unit= $3

Buy:

Number of units= 16,000

Buying price= $27

Rent= $25,000

First, we will determine the total cost of each option:

Make:

Total cost= 16,000*(22 + 3)= $400,000

Buy:

Total cost= 16,000*27 - 25,000= $407,000

If the company makes the units, it will save $7,000 per period.
