Accounting

Blouse Barn, an upscale, high-end boutique, located in Elmdale manufactures
premium blouses. Currently, Blouse Barn manufacturers all of the blouses it sells.
Blouse Barn's annual costs related to the production of 8,000 blouses are as follows:
Direct materials: $17,500
Direct labor: $10,000
Variable Overhead: $24,000
Fixed Overhead: $65,000
An outside supplier has offered to sell Blouse Barn identical blouses for $20 per
blouse. If the blouses are purchased from the outside supplier, $25,000 of annual
fixed overhead could be avoided and the new facilities now being used could be
rented to another company for $12,500 per year.
What is the highest price that Blouse Barn could pay the outside supplier for the
blouses and be indifferent between making or buying the blouses?
