Sunland Company must decide whether to make or buy some of its components. The costs of producing 67,200 switches for its generators are as follows.
Direct materials $31,000, Variable overhead $44,900
Direct labor
$44,484
Fixed overhead
$79,200
Instead of making the switches at an average cost of $2.97($199,58467,200), the company has an opportunity to buy the switches at $2.75 per unit. If the company purchases the switches, all the variable costs and one-fourth of the fixed costs will be eliminated.
