Haver company currently produces component rx5 for its sole product. the current cost per unit to manufacture the required 50,000 units of rx5 follows. direct materials $ 5.00 direct labor 9.00 overhead 10.00 total costs per unit 24.00 direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. overhead is 70% fixed. an outside supplier has offered to supply the 50,000 units of rx5 for $19.00 per unit. required: 1. calculate the incremental costs of making and buying component rx5.

The incremental costs of making and buying component RX5 is $100,000

Explanation:

For computing the increment cost of making and buying component RX5, first we have to compute the cost of making and buying component RX5 separately.

Cost of making includes:

Direct Material = 50,000 × $5 = $250,000

Direct Labor = 50,000 × 9 = $450,000

Variable Overhead cost = 50,000 × 10 × 30% = $150,000

So, total cost of making = Direct material cost + direct labor cost + variable overhead cost

= $250,000 + $450,000 + $150,000

= $850,000

Now, the cost of buying component is equals to

=  units × RX5 per unit

= 50,000 × $19

= $950,000

So, the incremental costs of making and buying component RX5 is equals to

= cost of making - cost of buying component

= $950,000 - $850,000

= $100,000

Hence,  the incremental costs of making and buying component RX5 is $100,000

okay lol !
