Vest Industries manufactures 40,000 components per year. The manufacturing cost of the components was determined as follows: Direct materials $ 75,000 Direct labor 120,000 Variable overhead 45,000 Fixed overhead 60,000 Total $300,000 An outside supplier has offered to sell the component for $12.75. Fixed cost will remain the same if the component is purchased from an outside supplier. Vest Industries can rent its unused manufacturing facilities for $45,000 if it purchases the component from the outside supplier. What is the effect on income if Vest purchases the component from the outside supplier

If the company buys the component, income will decrease by $225,000.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units= 40,000

The manufacturing cost:

Direct materials $ 75,000

Direct labor 120,000

Variable overhead 45,000

An outside supplier has offered to sell the component for $12.75.

Vest Industries can rent its unused manufacturing facilities for $45,000.

We will take into account only the differential costs.

Make in -house:

Total cost= 75,000 + 120,000 + 45,000= $240,000

Buy:

Total cost= 40,000*12.75 - 45,000= $465,000

If the company buys the component, income will decrease by $225,000.
