Bramble Corp. incurs the following costs to produce 9900 units of a subcomponent: Direct materials$8316 Direct labor11187 Variable overhead12474 Fixed overhead16200 An outside supplier has offered to sell Bramble the subcomponent for $2.85 a unit. If Bramble accepts the offer, it could use the production capacity to produce another product that would generate additional income of $3600. The increase (decrease) in net income from accepting the offer would be

$3,762

Explanation:

The computation is as seen below

Total cost when the production is 9,900 units

Direct materials $8,316

Direct labor $11,187

Variable overhead $12,474

Total $31,977

But,

Their new cost on supplier offer is

= $2.85 × 9,900 units

= $28,215

In the case when the order is accepted, the net income would increase by

= $31,977 - $28,215

= $3,762

1) the stages a new product goes through from beginning to end, i.e., the stages that a product passes through from introduction through growth, maturity, and decline. 2) the time from initial research and development to the time at which sales and support of the product to customers are withdrawn. 3) the period of time during which a product can be produced and marketed profitably.
