nteliSystems manufactures an optical switch that it uses in its final product. InteliSystems incurred the following manufacturing costs when it produced 70,000 units last year as shown in the chart below: InteliSystems does not yet know how many switches it will need this year; however, another company has offered to sell InteliSystems the switch for $8.50 per unit. If InteliSystems buys the switch from the outside supplier, the manufacturing facilities that will be idle cannot be used for any other purpose; yet none of the fixed costs are avoidable. Requirements 1. Given the same cost structure, should InteliSystems make or buy the switch? Show your analysis. 2. Now, assume that InteliSystems can avoid $105,000 of fixed costs a year by outsourcing production. In addition, because sales are increasing, InteliSystems needs 75,000 switches a year rather than 70,000 switches. What should the company do now? 3. Given the last scenario, what is the most InteliSystems would be willing to pay to outsource the switches?

Q15. A company manufacturing two products furnishes the following data Annual output: Product Output units Machine Hours Purchase Orders Machine set-ups A 5000 20000 160 20 B 60000 120000 384 44 Total 65000 140000 544 64 The annual overheads are as under. Rs Volume related activity costs 550,000 Set up related costs 820,000 Purchase related costs 618,000 Total 1,988,000 You are required to calculate the overheads cost per unit of each product A and B based on Activity based costing method.
The total prime cost of a product 400. The variable manufacturing overhead is calculated based on the number of direct labor hours. The variable manufacturing overhead cost per hour is three times the direct labor cost per hour. The fixed manufacturing overhead was OMR5,500. Assuming that direct labor hours were 700 and that the direct labor cost was 40% of direct materials cost, how much is the total manufacturing cost? Select one a OMR83,600 b: OMR39,100 c. OMR17100 d. OMR13,900 e. OMR21,100
