MSI is considering outsourcing the production of the handheld control module used with some of its products. The company has rec

eived a bid from Monte Legend Co. (MLC) to produce 10,000 units of the module per year for $16 each. The following information pertains to MSI’s production of the control modules:
Direct materials $9
Direct labor $4
Variable manufacturing overhead $2
Fixed manufacturing overhead $3
Total cost per unit $18
MSI has determined that it could eliminate all variable costs if the control modules were produced externally, but none of the fixed overhead is avoidable. At this time, MSI has no specific use in mind for the space that is currently dedicated to the control module production.
Compute the difference in cost between making and buying the control module.

Answer:

If the company makes the units in-house, it will save $10,000.

Explanation:

<u>The fixed costs will remain in both options. Therefore, the fixed costs are irrelevant to the decision-making process.</u>

<u></u>

Buy:

Total cost= 10,000*16= $160,000

Make in house:

Total cost= 10,000*(9 + 4 + 2)= $150,000

If the company makes the units in-house, it will save $10,000.

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

B. Increasing the production of a good requires larger and larger decreases in the production of another good.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost refers to the foregone units of production of a good in exchange for producing units of another good.

Marginal cost on the other hand refers to additional cost incurred when an additional unit is produced.

Marginal opportunity cost relates to the additional opportunity cost incurred  when additional unit of second good is produced in exchange for foregoing or sacrificing units of production of first good.

Increasing marginal opportunity cost would mean as more and more units of good A are produced, for each extra unit of production of Good A, higher units of production of Good B are sacrificed i.e larger and larger decrease in the production of another good.
