Pottery Ranch Inc. has been manufacturing its own finials for
its curtain rods. The company is currently operating at 100% of
capacity, and variable manufacturing overhead is charged to
production at the rate of 60% of direct labor cost. The direct
materials and direct labor cost per unit to make a pair of finials
are $4 and $5, respectively. Normal production is 26,600 curtain
rods per year.
A supplier offers to make a pair of finials at a price of $13.25
per unit. If Pottery Ranch accepts the supplier’s offer, all
variable manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the $42,600 of
fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the finials
will have to be absorbed by other products.
