1) Incremental Costs to Make 50000 units
Relevant Amount per Unit | Relevant fixed Costs | Total Relevant Costs | |
Variable cost per unit | $2.10 | $105,000 | |
Fixed manufacturing costs | $40,000 | $40,000 | |
Total incremental cost to make | $145,000 |
2) Incremental Costs to Buying 50000 units at $2.80 per unit
Relevant Amount per Unit | Relevant Fixed Costs | Total Relevant Costs | |
Purchase price per unit | $2.80 | $140,000 | |
Total incremental cost to buy | $140,000 |
Notes . - $45000 allocated fix cost are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys the part, so it is irrelevant
Decision - As total incremental cost under buy option is low by $ 5000 ($145000 - 140000). So company should buy the part from outside supplier.
