Royal Company manufactures 20,000 units of part R-3 each year for use on its production line. At this level of activity, the cost per unit for part R-3 is:
- Direct materials $ 5.70
- Direct labor 7.00
- Variable manufacturing overhead 3.60
- Fixed manufacturing overhead 9.00
- Total cost per part $ 25.30
An outside supplier has offered to sell 20,000 units of part R-3 each year to Royal Company for $41.00 per part. If Royal Company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to manufacture part R-3 could be rented to another company at an annual rental of $423,000. However, Royal Company has determined that $6 of the fixed manufacturing overhead being applied to part R-3 would continue even if part R-3 were purchased from the outside supplier.
