Rubium Micro Devices currently manufactures a subassembly for its main product. The costs per unit are as follows:Direct materials$ 53Direct labor40Variable overhead36Fixed overhead31Total costs$ 160Crayola Technologies Inc. has contacted Rubium with an offer to sell 7 comma 000 of the subassemblies for $ 145 each. Rubium will eliminate $ 85 comma 000 of fixed overhead if it accepts the proposal. Should Rubium make or buy the subassemblies? What is the difference between the two alternatives?

Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

Total Unit Cost of Making Product  = Direct Material + Direct Labor + Variable Overhead + Fixed Overhead

= $53 + $40 + $36 + $31

= $160

Total Unit Cost of Buying Product = Fixed Cost + Purchase Cost

= $31 + $145

= $176

Direct material(7,000 × $53)371,000                          -

Direct labor(7,000 × $40)280,000                          -

Variable overhead(7,000 ×$36)252,000                   -

Fixed overhead(7,000 × $31)217,000             132,000

                                                                             (217,000 - 85,000)

Purchase cost                                   7,000 × $145 = 1,015,000

Total cost                                    1,120,0001,147,000

Difference between two alternatives

= $1,147,000 - $1,120,000

= $27,000

According to the analysis, rubium make the product because buying product cost is more than making the product.

steering wheels are always situated on the left side of the car.

always drive on the right side of the road.

white lines separate lanes of traffic traveling the same direction.

hashed or broken lines means you may change lanes when it is safe.

solid white lines mean stay in your lane.

yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposing directions.

hashed or broken yellow lines mean you can carefully pass, paying attention to oncoming traffic.

never cross a solid yellow line (or double yellow line).

when turning left at an intersection, pass in front of any cars that are turning left from the opposing direction (do not try to pass behind them).

use the left lane to pass other cars traveling your direction.

do not pass in the right lane unless absolutely necessary.

if you are driving in the far left hand lane and someone would like to pass you, move over to the right lane when it is safe to do so and allow them to pass.

you must always yield to pedestrians.

come to a complete stop whenever you see pedestrians trying to cross the street.

never pass a school bus if it has flashing red lights. wait until the lights have stopped.

be aware of bicyclists. often they share the road with cars and are supposed to also follow general traffic laws.

be particularly careful about driving in cities with bike lanes -- always check before turning that a bike is not coming.

it is mandatory to pull over or stop at an intersection to allow an emergency vehicle to pass you if you see one traveling with lights flashing and/or a siren running.

do not overuse your car horn. horns are used almost exclusively for emergency situations or for when you feel unsafe.
