Direct materials$3Direct labor 2Variable manufacturing overhead 1Fixed manufacturing overhead 2Total cost per unit$8
Mohave has determined that all variable costs could be eliminated by outsourcing the tote bags, while 60 percent of the fixed overhead cost is unavoidable. At this time, Mohave has no specific use in mind for the space currently dedicated to producing the tote bags.
Required:
1. Compute the difference in cost between making and buying the umbrella tote bag.
2. Based strictly on the incremental analysis, should Mohave buy the tote bags or continue to make them?
3-a. Suppose that the space Mohave currently uses to make the bags could be utilized by a new product line that would generate $10,000 in annual profits. Recompute the difference in cost between making and buying the umbrella tote bag.
3-b. Does this change your recommendation to Mohave?
