Our company can produce a product that incurs the following costs per unit: direct materials, $10; direct labor, $24, and overhead, $16. an outside supplier has offered to sell the product to us for $45. if the company buys from the supplier, it will still incur 45% of its overhead cost. compute the net incremental cost or savings of buying.

net incremental cost = $ 2.2

Explanation:

Data provided:

Direct material cost = $ 10  per unit

Direct labor cost = $ 24  per unit

Overhead cost = $ 16 per unit

thus,

the total cost of the product = $ 10 + $ 24 + $ 16 = $ 50

Now,

if bought from outside cost = $ 45

Overhead cost if bought from outside = 45% of the overhead cost

= 0.45 × $ 16 = $ 7.2

hence, the total cost if bought from outside = $ 45 + $ 7.2 = $ 52.2

since, the cost of product if bought from outside side is greater than the product is produced by own

therefore, the net incremental cost = $ 52.2 - $ 50 = $ 2.2
