Question - Z Company is considering buying a part next year that they currently make. A company has offered to supply it for $13.67 per unit. This year's production costs for 3,000 units were as follows:
Per Unit Total
Direct Materials $3.56 $10,680
Direct Labor 4.78 14,340
Total Overhead 7.10 21,300
Total Costs $15.44 $46,320
$13,500 of total overhead is fixed. If Z Company chooses to buy the part, it will still incur fixed costs of $5,940.
If Z Company makes the part next year instead of buying it, and production is expected to remain at 3,000 units, it will save how much?
