Gelb Company currently manufactures 40,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $1.95 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $65,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $58,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.50 per unit. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier? Support your decisions with analysis of the data provided.

Question 17
Voltaic Electronics uses a standard part in the manufacture of different types of radios. The total cost of producing 35,000
parts is $105,000, which includes fixed costs of $50,000 and variable costs of $55,000. The company can buy the part from
an outside supplier for $2 per unit and avoid 20% of the fixed costs. Assume that the company can use the freed
manufacturing space to make another product that can earn a profit of $16,000. If Voltaic outsources, what will be the effect
on operating income?
O decrease of $10.000
increase of $16,000

Question 10.4
Big Machines Corp. has two divisions. Division Y manufactures components that can be sold in the external market place or transferred to Division Z for further processing. The following data relate to Division Y's component product.
Variable manufacturing costs/unit
$925
Fixed costs/unit at capacity
$275
Selling price/unit
$1,800
The capacity of the plant is 2,500 units per year.
Division Z has offered to purchase 350 units from Division Y at a price of $1,600/unit, which is the market price of the component. The manager of Division Y has refused this offer stating that it would only return a rate of 25.00%, when the divisional target return on sales is 28.00%. The Division Y manager also states that additional fixed costs of $195,000 would be required to produce the 350 units.
The corporate required rate of return is 18% of assets and the existing asset base in Division Y is $2,500,000.
Required:
How many units must Division Y sell in order…
