Question

The company;s Accounting department reports the following costs of producing 16,000 units of the wheels internally each year:

                                                                         16,000

                                              Per unit              units  

Direct materials                              12             192,000.00

direct labor                                      8              128,000.00

Variable overheads                          2                32,000.00

supervisor's salary                           6                 96,000.00

Depreciation of special equipment  4                64,000.00

Allocated General overhead            10             160,000.00 

total cost                                          42             672,000.00

 

an outside supplier has offered to sell 16,000 wheels a year to toronto cycles for a price of $38 each, or a total of $608,000 (= 16,000 wheels x $38 each).

Special equipment's used in production was bought 5 years back and do not have any resale value now.

The supervisor is specifically hired to supervise the production of wheels, thus is relevant and avoidable if wheels are bought from outside.

Should the company stop producing the wheels internally and them fromthe outside supplier?
