Logan company manufactures several toy products. logan presently manufactures and assembles all the parts for its toy truck product. another toy company has offered to sell the parts to logan for $2.00 per truck. logan is considering this offer. if logan buys the truck parts instead of making them, the space used in producing the parts could be used for a new toy monster, which is scheduled to begin production next year. if logan continues to produce the parts for the toy truck, then logan will have to lease manufacturing space from another company in an adjacent building in order to produce the parts for the new toy monster. the rent that logan would have to pay would be $5,000 per year.
cost information related to the production of the toy truck parts is as follows.
direct materials $1.10
direct labor 0.30
variable manufacturing overhead 0.20
fixed manufacturing overhead 0.20
total manufacturing costs $1.80
the marketing department has estimated that sales for the toy truck will be approximately 16,000 units per year for the next three years. the fixed manufacturing overhead is indirect and will still be incurred regardless of which decision is made.
