Decision About Purchasing From Outside Supplier

Question

DeMarcus Industries manufactures a widget used in several models of its automatic dishwashers. Monthly production costs for 5,000 units are:

Direct materials                                   $40,000

Direct labor                                          10,000

Variable support costs                           25,000

Fixed support costs                                20,000

                           Total costs                $95,000

It is estimated that 20% of the fixed support costs assigned to the widgets will no longer be incurred if the company purchases the part from the outside supplier for $15.50 per unit. Considering all relevant information, what should DeMarcus do?

    Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
