Zouar Computer Corporation currently manufactures the disk drives that it uses in its computers. The costs to produce 5,000 of these disk drives last year were as follows:
Cost per drive
Direct materials $12
Direct labor 2
Variable manufacturing overhead 5
Fixed manufacturing overhead 7
Total $26
Kidal Electronics has offered to provide Zouar with all of its disk drive needs for $27 per drive. If Zouar accepts this offer, Zouar will be able to use the freed up space to generate an additional $40,000 of income each year to produce more of its computer keyboards. Only $3 per drive of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost above could be avoided. Direct labor is an avoidable cost in this decision. Based on this information, would Zouar be financially better off making the drives or buying the drives and by how much?
a. $15,000 better to buy.
b. $20,000 better to buy.
c. $35,000 better to buy.
d. $60,000 better to make.

Answer:

Zouar Computer Corporation

a. $15,000 better to buy.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Production capacity = 5,000

Cost per drive

Direct materials                            $12

Direct labor                                      2

Variable manufacturing overhead 5  $19

Fixed manufacturing overhead      7

Total                                            $26

Avoidable costs:

Direct materials                            $12

Direct labor                                      2

Variable manufacturing overhead 5

Fixed manufacturing overhead      3

Avoidable opportunity cost            8 ($40,000/5,000)

Total avoidable costs                 $30

It will be financially better off buying the drives:

                                      Make        Buy             Difference

Total avoidable costs $150,000   $135,000   $15,000 ($150,000 - $135,000)

Raposa, Inc., produces a special line of plastic toy racing cars. Raposa, Inc., produces the cars in batches. To manufacture a batch of the cars, Raposa, Inc., must set up the machines and molds. Setup costs are batch-level costs because they are associated with batches rather than individual units of products. A separate Setup Department is responsible for setting up machines and molds for different styles of car.

Setup overhead costs consist of some costs that are variable and some costs that are fixed with respect to the number of setup-hours. The following information pertains to June 2015:

Actual amount Static-budget Amounts
Amounts Units produced and sold 15,700 11,950
Batch size (number of units per batch) 325 265
Setup-hours per batch 3 4.25
Variable overhead cost per setup-hour $48 $45
Total fixed setup overhead costs $11,310 $9,010

Calculate the efficiency variance for variable overhead setup costs. (Round all intermediary calculations two decimal places and your final answer to the nearest whole number.)

a. $435 unfavorable
b. $4,810 favorable
c. $4,810 unfavorable
d. $435 favorable
