Rubble Company must decide whether to make or buy some of its components. The costs of producing 67,300 switches for its generators are as follows.
Direct materials | $29,060 | Variable overhead | $45,120 |
Direct labor | $46,734 | Fixed overhead | $79,640 |
Instead of making the switches at an average cost of $2.98 ($200,554 – 67,300), the company has an opportunity to buy the switches at $2.69 per unit. If the company purchases the switches, all the variable costs and one-fourth of the fixed costs will be eliminated.
Prepare an incremental analysis.
