Decision making in respect of ‘Make or Buy.
X-Perience manufacturers snowboards. Its cost of making 1,700 bindings is as follows:
Direct materials | $17,600 |
Direct labor | 3,100 |
Variable overhead | 2,080 |
Fixed overhead | 6,600 |
Total manufacturing costs for 1,700 bindings | $29,380 |
Suppose Livingston will sell bindings to X-Perience for $14 each. X-Perience would pay $2 per unit to transport the bindings to its manufacturing plant, where it would add its own logo at a cost of $0.60 per binding.
Required:
a) X-Perience’s accountants predict that purchasing the bindings from Livingston will enable the company to avoid $1,800 of fixed overhead. Prepare an analysis to show whether X-Perience should make or buy the bindings.
b) The facilities freed by purchasing bindings from Livingston can be used to manufacture another product that will contribute $2,800 to profit. Total fixed costs will be the same as if X-Perience had produced the bindings. Show which alternative makes the best use of X-Perience’s facilities: a) make bindings, (b) buy bindings and leave facilities idle, or (c) buy bindings and make another product.
