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.

Answer:

An intrapreneur

Explanation:

An intrapreneur is an employee who is granted the permission to make a new commodity without having to be worried if the product will actually become a source of profit for the company. Unlike an entrepreneur, who encounters personal risk when a product fails to yield profit , an intrepreneur will continue to receive a salary even if the product does not make it to production.

However, an intrapreneur has full access to the resources and capabilities of the organisation.

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

b. Increase by $17,000

Explanation:

For computing the change in the operating income, first we have to determine the cost by make and buy options

Make options:

= Variable cost + fixed cost

= $70 + $60

= $130

Buy options:

= Outside supplier cost + fixed cost × remaining percentage

= $77 + $60 × 60%

= $77 + $36

= $113

So, the difference of cost would be

= $130 - $113

= $17

And, the operating income would be

= Number of units make in each year × cost difference

= 1,000 units × $17

= $17,000
