The following cost information is available:
Direct materials $420
Direct labor (variable) 110
Variable manufacturing overhead 80
Fixed manufacturing overhead 30
A supplier has offered to sell the component to CM for $650 per
unit. If 4-I buys the component from the supplier, the released
facilities can be used to manufacture a product that would generate
a contribution margin of $10,000 annually. Assuming that 4-I needs
4,000 components annually and that the fixed manufacturing overhead
is unavoidable, what would be the impact on operating income if 4-I
outsources?
