Calvin Company manufactures its own subassembly units known by the code name “ekrob.” Calvin incurs the following annual costs in producing 40,000 ekrobs:
|
Direct materials |
$ 60,000 |
|
Direct labor |
90,000 |
|
Variable overhead |
50,000 |
|
Fixed overhead |
80,000 |
|
Total |
$280,000 |
Calvin can purchase the ekrobs from Hobbes Corporation for $6.00 per unit. If they purchase the ekrobs, only $30,000 of the fixed overhead will be eliminated. However, the vacant factory space can be used to increase production of another product, which would generate annual income of $22,000.
Instructions
Prepare an incremental analysis to determine whether Calvin should make or buy ekrobs.
