Accounting

MSI is considering outsourcing the production of the handheld control module used with some of its products. The company has
received a bid from Monte Legend Company (MLC) to produce 9,000 units of the module per year for $20.00 each. The following
information pertains to MSI's production of the control modules:
MSI has determined it could eliminate all variable costs if the control modules were produced externally, but none of the fixed
overhead is avoidable. At this time, MSI has no specific use in mind for the space that is currently dedicated to the control module
production.
Required:
Compute the difference in cost between making and buying the control module.
Should MSI buy the modules from MLC or continue to make them?
3-a. Suppose the MSI space currently used for the modules could be utilized by a new product line that would generate $25,000 in
annual profit. Recompute the difference in cost between making and buying under this scenario.
3-b. Does this change your recommendation to MSI?
Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below.
Compute the difference in cost between making and buying the control module.
