Question

Pharoah Company manufactured 6,720 units of a component part that is used in its product and incurred the following costs:

Direct materials   $39,200  
Direct labor   16,800  
Variable manufacturing overhead   11,200  
Fixed manufacturing overhead   22,400  
    $89,600  


Another company has offered to sell the same component part to the company for $13 per unit. The fixed manufacturing overhead consists mainly of depreciation on the equipment used to manufacture the part and would not be reduced if the component part was purchased from the outside firm. If the component part is purchased from the outside firm, Pharoah Company has the opportunity to use the factory equipment to produce another product which is estimated to have a contribution margin of $24,640.

Prepare an incremental analysis report for Pharoah Company which can serve as informational input into this make or buy decision.
