Part U16 is used by Mcvean Corporation to make one of its products. A total of 19,000 units of this part are produced and used every year. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the part at this level of activity:
Per Unit
Direct materials $ 4.10
Direct labor $ 8.70
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 9.20
Supervisor's salary $ 4.60
Depreciation of special equipment $ 3.00
Allocated general overhead $ 8.20
An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $29.50 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including the direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company, none of which would be avoided if the part were purchased instead of produced internally. In addition, the space used to make part U16 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $31,000 per year for that product.
Required:
1. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of buying part U16 from the outside supplier should be .

Annual financial advantage =  $108,900

Explanation:

Relevant cost are future incremental cash costs that arise as a direct consequence of a decision.

The relevant costs of this decision includes the following:

The variable of making= (4.10 +8.70+9.20+4.6) =          $26.6 per unit

The external purchaser e process        -                         $29.50    .

The contributor form the use of space                             31,000

Annual financial advantage                                                     $

External purchase cost (19,000 ×  $29.50)   =               560,500

Internal cost of making  (19,000 ×  $26.6)  =                 ( 505,400)

Extra variable cost from external purchase                   55,100.00

                                                                                                 $

Savings in Fixed cost(3+4.60)* 19,000                             133,000

Extra variable cost of buying                                            ( 55,100)

Contribution from the use of space                                   31,000

Net savings arising from the decision to buy outside  108,900

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
