Question Content Area

Boston Exemcutive, Inc., produces executive limousines and currently manufactures the mini-bar inset at these costs:

	Cost per Unit
Variable costs:
Direct material	$950
Direct labor	660
Variable overhead	300
Total variable costs	$1,910
Fixed costs:
Depreciation of equipment	$490
Depreciation of building	190
Supervisors salaries	300
Total fixed costs	$980
Total cost	$2,890

The company received an offer from Elite Mini-Bars to produce the insets for $2,110 per unit and supply 1,000 mini-bars for the coming year’s estimated production. If the company accepts this offer and shuts down production of this part of the business, production workers and supervisors will be reassigned to other areas. Assume that for the short-term decision-making process demonstrated in this problem, the company’s total labor costs (direct labor and supervisor salaries) will remain the same if the bar inserts are purchased.

The specialized equipment cannot be used and has no market value. However, the space occupied by the mini-bar production can be used by a different production group that will lease it for $55,000 per year.

A. Calculate the differential cost of mini-bar insert. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
