Question

Accounting

Jax Co. manufactures a product which requires a component that they currently produce themselves. They produce 50,000 units per year. Following are the product costs to manufacture the component:

Direct materials $500,000

Direct labor 200,000

Variable manufacturing overhead 80,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead 90,000

Total manufacturing costs $870,000

Total cost per unit $870,000/50,000 $17.40

Jax Co. could purchase the component from Parts, Inc for $15 per unit. If they purchase the component all variable costs would be eliminated but they would retain $60,000 of the fixed costs.

Should Jax Co purchase the component from Parts, Inc.?
