Answer:

1. 72000 units.

2. $19.

Explanation:

Solution:

Part 1:

Let's Sort out the data given:

Monthly Cost Fixed = $240,000

Fixed Cost unavoidable = 40% x 240,000

Fixed Cost unavoidable = $96,000

Now,

Avoidable Fixed Cost will be = $240,000 - $96,000

Avoidable Fixed Cost will be = $144,000

It means that, if the industries obtain products from the outside supplier, it will save or avoid fixed cost of $144,000 per month.

Now, we also given that,

Variable Production Cost = $16 per unit

Purchase Price per unit (Outsider) = $18 per unit

Increment in Price per unit = $18 - $16 = $2

Hence,

It will cost the industry an extra of $2 per unit.

Now, we can calculate the required monthly usage at which it will be indifferent between purchasing and making part MR24.

Break Even Monthly Usage  = Avoidable Fixed Cost/ Incremental Price per unit.

Break Even Monthly Usage = $144,000/$2

Break Even Monthly Usage = 72000 units.

Hence, Monthly usage at which it will be indifferent between purchasing and making part MR24 = 72000 units.

Part 2:

Monthly usage as given = 48000 units on which it can avoid the fixed cost of $144,000

Avoidable Monthly fixed cost = $144,000

So, now, we can calculate the avoidable fixed cost per unit as well.

Avoidable Fixed Cost Per unit = $144,000/48000

Avoidable Fixed Cost Per unit = $3

We also know,

Variable Production cost per unit = $16

Avoidable Fixed cost per unit = $3

So, we can see the maximum purchase price in order to avoid monthly fixed cost.

Maximum Purchase price per unit = $16 + $3 =$19

It means, $19 is the maximum purchase price, if the industry is approaching the outsider for the monthly usage of 48000 units. It will benefit if the price is less than $19.
