Total cost per part | $ | 21.00 |
An outside supplier has offered to sell 37,000 units of part S-6 each year to Han Products for $19 per part. If Han Products accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to manufacture part S-6 could be rented to another company at an annual rental of $87,000. However, Han Products has determined that two-thirds of the fixed manufacturing overhead being applied to part S-6 would continue even if part S-6 were purchased from the outside supplier.
