Question 3
Tan Pte Ltd (“TPL”) produces a single product called T01. The product uses material sourced from Europe. The company has sufficient capacity to produce 80,000 units of T01 each month, without the need to increase fixed manufacturing overhead costs. It normally produces and sells 70,000 T01 each month at a selling price of $199 per unit. The company’s unit costs at this level of activity are given below. Fixed manufacturing costs are allocated on the basis of production volume.

Part B
This part of the question should be answered independently of Part A.
TPL was just informed that due to a strike in its supplier’s plant, the company is unable to purchase more direct material for the production of T01. The strike is expected to persist for 1 month. TPL currently has enough material on hand to operate at 20% of its normal production level for the coming month.
Alternatively, TPL can close its own manufacturing plant for the month. If TPL’s plant is closed, fixed manufacturing overhead costs would continue at 50%, and fixed selling expenses would be reduced by 30% for the duration of closure.

Provide two (2) qualitative factors that TPL should consider when deciding whether to outsource in part (e) above. |
It should ensure that quality of materials is good and there is no compromise in quality. |
It should ensure that the delivery of materials is always in time. |
