In my opinion, we ought to stop making our own drums and accept that outside suppliers offer, said Wim Niewindt, managing director of Antilles Refining, N.V., of Aruba. At a price of $21 per drum, we would be paying $6.05 less than it costs us to manufacture the drums in our own plant. Since we use 70,000 drums a year, that would be an annual cost savings of $423,500. Antilles Refinings current cost to manufacture one drum is given below (based on 70,000 drums per year):
Direct materials $ 11.00
Direct labor 8.00
Variable overhead 2.00
Fixed overhead ($3.20 general company overhead, $1.95 depreciation, and $0.90 supervision)6.05
Total cost per drum $ 27.05
