Answer:

Company Save $37000 by Buying

Explanation:

given data

make component part = 100 units

Direct Materials = $122000

Direct Labor = 34000

Variable Overhead = 55000

Fixed Overhead = 30000

purchase the component = $200000

fixed costs = $4000

to find out

make or buy decision

solution

first we find here Total Cost for Making component part

total cost = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Variable Overhead + Fixed Overhead ..............1

put here value

total cost for make = $122000 + 34000 + 55000 + 30000

total cost for make = $241000

and

now we find here Total Cost for buying component part

total cost = Purchase Price + fixed costs ............2

put here value we get

total cost for buying = $200000 + $4000

total cost for buying = $204000

so

we can say Company Save = $241000 - $204000 = $37000 by Buying
